Finding the Perfect Neutral Paint Color

When it comes to finding the perfect neutral paint color, there are a lot of choices. Do you want warm or cool? Light or dark? This video by Better Homes and Gardens shows you all the options:

If you’re looking to soften bright colors, consider a warm putty gray. It pairs well with weathered wood finishes. Cool whites give vintage finds a modern edge, while a pure medium gray conveys sophistication. Nearly pure whites brighten soft spaces and let colorful accents do the talking.

A mid-tone gray can be used as a wall color and throughout a room without falling flat. Medium tans strike a balance between calm and cozy. Dark grays create drama and a cooling effect, but a medium gray with a touch of brown gives depth without being so strong.

Whites with yellow undertones project a traditional vibe or cottage character. Crisp whites put forward a fresh face perfect for coastal styles and modern rooms.

Just because it’s a neutral color it doesn’t have to fall flat. The perfect neutral will make your space sing. Before you commit, always check the chip as actual colors may appear differently than they do on a computer screen.
