Neutral are important colors in interior design, even if you tend to be attracted to the bold color. And there is much to navigate when it comes to the neutral paint color selection.

I wanted to share some of the best neutral paint color that I have used in our homes, why my legs attract me and what I think they bring to a room. In the list below, I include four very different colors: white, cream, light pink (which is visually read as neutral) and black.

If you are deciding a neutral paint color for your home, I hope this publication serves as a useful resource for you. This is also a great publication to mark your future design projects!

Here are four of the best neutral paint color that I have used in our homes …

1. White Dove by Benjamin Moore

Where I used this color: The family’s family hall in our current house and the main floor in our previous home.

This is a clear white that does not feel sterile. It is a warm color, but because it does not have too many yellow tones, it is not read as a cream. As design trends move towards warmer colors, this is a great classic white paint color to use.

2. Sail Benjamin Moore fabric

Where I used this color: The family’s family hall in our current home.

If you are giving a light neutral color that you have a little more visual weight, the candle fabric could be the color for you. It is a warm color that is a more creamy step than white dove. If you want to highlight the contrast between two neutrals, you could combine the candle fabric and the white pigeon like me in our family’s family room.

3. Farrow & Ball plaster presentation

Where I used this color: The adjustment both at the entrance and in the guest room in our current house.

Presenting plaster is a great color to use if you want something a step beyond white or cream that does not also crowded. While it is light pink, it still reads like a neutral color and is a versatile option for so many children or rooms.

4. Benjamin Moore wrought iron

This is a beautiful black gray color that brings depth without exceeding a whole room. Sometimes, a really dark black color can feel so overwhelming that it dominates any other design feature in a space. Forged iron has a softness that I really love.
