Neutrals are the foundation to build layers, tones and textures to a room. The hardest thing about Neutrals is how much they change from day to night and their subtle undertones of colour can take on a whole different look in every room. The key to working with your Neutrals is to get the underlying base right and build from there. There is only one Pure White and every other Neutral has a small tint and shade added to it. Here we have made it easy for you by breaking down the Neutrals into four categories. Use these pictures and colour chips as a guide to take the frustration out of not only selecting a scheme but where to start.

Lighting greatly affects how your Neutral colours will look and change. Artificial lighting comes in a warm and a cool white and sometimes just changing the light bulb could give you the look you are after. A warm globe will soften the harshness of a clean Crisp White interior in a bathroom or kitchen, and a cool globe can dull the yellow in a Neutral. again will giveMilk another look to your Neutral colours Tahira White Bar so make sure you test your selection during daytime and night time over a few days before making your choice. Take time selecting your Neutral colours and build layers of other Neutral colours. Add a pop of colour through accessories to enhance your Neutral Colour Scheme.
