Neutrals Neutrals refer to a broad spectrumof colours that contain little colour pigment, so they do have an undertone and can be either light or dark in shade.
understated, low intensity, versatile
Commonly associated neutral colours include greys, stones, khaki, creams, magnolia, taupe andmocha. Children do not respond to neutral shades such as beige and taupe and these descriptions don’t tend to be in their vocabulary until they are older. Neutrals are classic and timeless colours that can be used as a backdrop allowing statement colours in furniture and furnishings to shine. Neutral shades do not impose a personality and so can be useful for neutral spaces such as new builds, or rental properties. Magnolia is one such shade that perhaps has become over used in recent years.
For many years, it became the standard neutral colour for landlords and developers and unfortunately, the colour namemagnolia now appears to have negative associations. Magnolia is a colour named after the flowering plant of the genus Magnolia. As magnolias have flowers of more than one colour, mainly creamor pale purple, magnolia refers to different colours in different countries. In the UKmagnolia is a creamy colour defined by British Standard BS 08B15.
