Ideas For Neutral Wall Colors
The beauty of neutral colors is that they are so versatile. They tie things together from one room to the next and provide a beautiful backdrop for new or existing decor. Sherwin-Williams director of color marketing Jackie Jordan presents ten ideas for neutral wall colors in this Pottery Barn video:
Choose a cool shade to create a tranquil and serene mood or a warm shade for a timeless traditional look. You can paint trim in a contrasting color to add interest. When you’re ready for a fresh look, a few new throw pillows or a new slipcover or duvet is all you need for an inexpensive transformation.
- Kilim Beige: complements natural stone and medium to dark hardwoods to create a warm comfortable look
- Accessible Beige: flexible shade that works with modern or traditional decor
- Ivoire: pairs well with brown and rust shades for a traditional look or with grays and whites for a modern look
- Urban Putty: mix with industrial accents, subway tiles, and steel appliances to create a striking modern kitchen
- Light French Gray: lets you set the mood – add aqua accents for a beach vibe or combine with rich black layers for a polished chic look
- Agreeable Gray: agrees with just about any palette – go cool with dusty blue accents, spice it up with terra cotta, or low key with creamy whites
- Whole Wheat: perfect for laid-back family rooms or rustic kitchens
- Macadamia: perfect choice for down-home decor like handwoven throws, primitive pottery and warm leather
- Extra White: suitable for black and white decor, its light reflective qualities create a feeling of spaciousness in small rooms
- Summer White: blend with soft pastels for a luminous quality that’s sensational in rooms with natural light
