My Top 10 Favorite Neutral Paint Colors

I love color! I think color changes the look of a space more than anything,  it affects our moods, and it’s BEAUTIFUL! Each week one of my blogs will be all about color: my favorite paint choices in each color, color psychology, a little color theory or photos of design items in one color theme. This week? My Top 10 Favorite Neutral Paint Colors. These colors aren’t technically neutral, they are tans & grays, but they are neutral in that they provide a fantastic backdrop for whatever else is in the room.  They can be paired with whites for a crisp look or with lovely accent colors to compliment any decor and they play nicely with the other neutrals–brown, black & gray–depending on which one you choose.

(Tip: If you really want to get a quick idea of what a paint color looks in a room or on an exterior, Google the paint color & click IMAGES and loads of photos will pop-up!)
