NEUTRALS

Neutrals are common in interior design as they are unobtrusive and calming.

In fashion neutrals suggests a classic and classy kind of feel. If warn by certain people they also suggest maturity and even snobbery, purely because of connotations between the colour beige and rich women.


Neutral usually means without color. Neutral colors such as beige, ivory, taupe, black, gray, and white appear to be without color, and yet in many applications these hues often have undertones of color.I much prefer neutrals with warm undertones, but you generally can't tell the difference between warm and cool neutrals until the are compared to each other!

Be aware of these underlying tones as you match colors or choose paint. For example, beige might have an undertone of pink or tan or gold. White might be slightly ivory, yellow, bluish, or peachy.
