Neutral Color Chart

Neutral colors in decoration can vary in tone and some of them are not recommended in certain environments:

  • Beige: This color is very versatile and can be used in various environments. It combines with many other colors, whether it plays a predominant role or not. For these reasons, it is usually recommended for living rooms and bedrooms.
  • Gray: This color is neutral, but transmits modernity and elegance. Therefore, betting on gray is ideal for those who want to give a new lease of life to the home decoration. A great environment to use this color is the kitchen.
  • Brown: It combines with earthy, woody, and caramel tones. This creates an organic, cozy, and creative atmosphere. For this reason, it is indicated for environments where you want to have a rustic, cozy feel, such as living rooms and bedrooms.
  • Black: is elegant, sophisticated, and very versatile. It can be used in various environments. However, some elements, such as the toilet bowl, should not be this color for health reasons.

  • Fendi: is another color related to classic and elegant decoration. it is a joker that can help create textures and contrasts with white, gray, and brown. this color goes well in elements with wood, mirrors, or gold.
  • Off-white: The most common combination of this color is with almond tones or natural wood. However, it also serves to break up and add texture to the cleanliness of white. In addition, it can be used in cabinetry or sofas.
  • Graphite: Just like gray and black, this color is versatile and brings sophistication to the environment. It matches industrial style and cool background colors. In addition, it also serves to create textures and contrast with black.
  • Straw: Its yellowish background serves well as a contrast to various kinds of elements in the decoration. Furthermore, you can opt for a classic combination, such as brown, or a bold union, such as red or black.
