Choosing a neutral colour may seem easy, but some thought should go into it. We’ve all done it. We’ve picked a paint colour, we get it on the wall only to discover it’s not to our liking. This when we learned that a neutral colour isn’t what you thought it was. Peninsula Painting will help you so you will get the result you are wanting.

When you think neutral, light colours generally come to mind. But you should know that these colours have an undertone to them. We don’t know that until a room is painted and you may not like it. You will have to decide whether to live with the colour or change it. The team at Penisula Painting will guide you. Knowing what defines a neutral colour will help you before you make a decision about the colour. Neutral colours are those colours that are light to medium that will work with other colours. You have to know the undertone of the neutral colour you’d like to use. You can do this by holding a paint swatch against a pure white background and see what colour comes to the forefront. If you are using a paint swatch, those little cards, the darkest colour on the card is generally the undertone. However, you can’t always rely on looking at the paint swatch in the store. For instance, the neutral of a light gray you’re looking at could have undertones of brown in it but you won’t know that until you’re home and the colour doesn’t match and isn’t what you had in mind. It’s a good idea to bring the cards/swatches home. You can even choose the colour you’re leaning towards by painting one wall or paint a swatch on the wall to be sure before you have the whole room painted.

Neutral colours could be the most satisfying to have in your home but you have to make sure you have chosen the correct neutral and as you can tell, it takes some thinking. There are four basic neutral colours. You may be surprised to learn that the basic neutral colour palette is black, white, brown and grey. You are probably thinking dark colours with the mention of these. The lighter colours you choose to paint are based on these neutral colours. Penisula Painting will help you decide and you can discuss this during your free consultation.
