matchy

Overly color-coordinated outfit

Matchy describes things that match each other, often excessively or conspicuously.

The word usually appears reduplicated as matchy-matchy, gently mocking overly coordinated outfits, decor, or color schemes: Her bag and shoes were too matchy-matchy.

The implication is that perfect matching lacks sophistication—a little contrast shows better taste.
