Usually, when designing a new décor, picking a neutral hue means choosing white and off-whites. This doesn’t have to be a rule! There are several shades of grey – since light grey to a strong grey hue – that are considered neutral as well.

If you’re seeking an elegant and chic color that is versatile for any style décor, grey hues are the answer. “The color gray is a timeless and practical color.  Dark, charcoal gray communicates some of the strength and mystery of black. It is a sophisticated color that lack the negativity of the color black. Light grays can carry some of the attributes of the color white”.
