Neutral

A low-saturation color used as a background or filler.

Neutrals are the quiet colors — whites, grays, and beiges — that fill most of the canvas. They give the loud colors space to breathe.

Neutrals are not just gray. Slightly warm neutrals (cream, taupe) feel inviting. Slightly cool neutrals (cool gray, off-white) feel modern. Picking the right neutral sets the mood.
