About neutral color palettes
Neutrals are the most flexible backdrop in the house. Vary the undertone deliberately — a warm greige against a cooler white — so the scheme has quiet depth instead of going flat.
If you're starting from scratch, choose the neutral shade you're drawn to as your anchor, then build the rest of the room around it in lighter and deeper steps. Always test it where it's going to live — tape up a big swatch and check it in daylight and under lamps — because neutral can look quite different on a real wall than on a screen.
