Neutral paint colors get a bad rap, characterized as bland, boring, and non-offensive. One purpose of neutral paint colors is to avoid offense. When real estate home stagers go so far as to apply paint, it will almost certainly be a neutral color. When a home remodeler aims to feature a room's structural or architectural elements, she or he will choose a neutral wall color to let those features stand out.
By tweaking neutral colors, though, it is possible to give the paint a unique personality--an added coolness or even warmth--that lets the color speak its own language. This begs the question..
