4 Rich Paint Colors that work as neutrals

  1. Dead Salmon by Farrow and Ball

This peachy pink feels earthy, almost like terra cotta baking in the hot sun. It will bring a warmth and coziness while feeling super chic and stylish. Your friends are going to ask you for the name of this paint color, so get ready!

2. Oregano by Benjamin Moore

Oregano feels like being transported to an exotic, global destination. Suddenly you are having an indoor/outdoor experience even if you are inclosed in a windowless room. Don’t have a green thumb? Try this one out. It will give you the feeling of plant-life without any of the responsibility.

3. Farrow and Ball Lulworth Blue

Blues are almost always workable as a neutral. This one can feel serene and sophisticated paired with analogous colors or bold and playful with other primary colors…either way, it compliments them all.

4. Rookwood Dark Red Sherwin Williams

I recently used this color in my dining room, and well, I may be a little biased, but this color rocks my socks off. I love adding cornflower blue and dusty pinks against it, with blocks of white for contrast. But I even love adding neons, and other unexpected colors.
