Neutral Colors That Look Great in Every Season

The most endearing quality of neutral colors is that they go with everything in any season, making it easy to swap out seasonal or holiday décor. Many people get trapped in the mindset that black and white are their only neutral options, but at Janovic, we can show you thousands of neutral color options to suit any style.

Here are a few of our favorites:

A pale gray with a cool cast, Misty Gray is a beautiful way to accent any interior. To make a striking aesthetic statement, pair it with Benjamin Moore Midnight 2131-20, a decadent black shade with a subtle green touch. If you prefer to keep your colors on the lighter end of the spectrum, Benjamin Moore Gray Owl OC-52 is a versatile light gray that shares the cool cast of Misty Gray.

Green meets gray in this warm, neutral hue. Use April Showers in your bedroom for a calm, relaxing vibe. It looks incredibly alluring next to Benjamin Moore Raindance 1572, a steel gray with notes of blue and green. You can also give a space a more playful look by pairing April Showers with Benjamin Moore Wet Concrete 2114-40, a deep mauve with brown and gray tones that give it the versatility of a neutral shade.

Driftwood is a deeper neutral that combines tan, taupe, and gray to create a shade with endless versatility. Since it is a darker neutral, we suggest pairing it with lighter colors to avoid making a space feel closed in and gloomy. Use Driftwood with Benjamin Moore Soft Satin 2164-60, a soft combination of pink and beige, to give your living room a welcoming atmosphere.

We know we said we were stepping away from the standard shades of black and white, but Benjamin Moore French White 1093 is anything but generic. A drop of yellow brings warmth to this creamy beige, and it looks phenomenal in a space with Benjamin Moore Roasted Sesame Seed 2160-40, a deep, honeyed bronze that can easily be an accent or primary color in a room.

Using neutral décor allows you to effortlessly change up the look of a room by switching out accessories, but how do you ensure the base doesn’t appear bland? Adding texture to a room ensures it will have plenty of depth and visual interest, even without brighter tones. Think about woven baskets, area rugs, nubby throw blankets, and textured wallpaper. Neutral spaces are also an ideal place to mix and match metal finishes.
