Backdrop neutral paint colors

4 neutral paint colors from the Backdrop DTC deck. LRV ranges from 73 (lightest) down to 33 (darkest). Click any swatch to see how it cross-matches at the 10 other US paint brands.

Neutrals are the colors that aren't quite gray and aren't quite tan — the warm, low-saturation in-between bucket where greige, taupe, mushroom, bone, and accessible beige all live. They've replaced cool grays as the default safe wall color of the late 2020s, particularly in open-plan homes where one color flows through multiple rooms.
