Our Top 20 Neutral Paint Colors

Our Favorite Neutral Paint Colors for Your Home

Selecting the right paint colors for your home can be quite a challenge. Often homeowners will choose a paint color based on a color they admired at a friend’s house or a color they’ve seen somewhere else. This is mistake #1, paint colors can look completely different based on the environment they are in. Therefore, that color that looked wonderful in your neighbors’ bathroom could look very disappointing in your living room. This is because light, natural and artificial, can change the appearance of any given color.

GRAY

We love it! It’s our go-to neutral and it just so happens to be on trend right now.
