Neutral Colors

Hey there, folks! It's time to dive into another exciting edition of #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques! Today, we're talking about the fabulous world of neutral colors. Did you know that there are not just three, but five neutral colors? Oh, yes! It's a fascinating palette to explore.

So, what exactly is a neutral color?

So, what exactly is a neutral color? Well, it's a color that effortlessly complements any other color, making it a versatile superstar in the world of hues. The three classics that immediately come to mind for most people are black, white, and brown. But wait, there's more!

Navy

Our delightful video is here to introduce you to the fourth member of the neutral family: navy! That's right, navy has earned its neutral status, especially thanks to the fashion industry. Just think about the timeless navy blue suit – it's a perfect match for any other color, wouldn't you agree?

Fifth Neutral Color

But hold on, we're not done yet! We have an exciting fifth neutral color to reveal, and it's a result of blending two other colors together. Can you guess? Drumroll, please... It's none other than grey! Yep, when you mix black and white, you get this fabulous shade that fits like a glove with all kinds of colors.

Whether it's black, white, brown, navy, or grey, neutral colors act as a canvas, allowing any other color to shine. They provide a perfect backdrop for endless style combinations and let your creativity run wild.

Think of your Neutrals

So, next time you're putting together an outfit or exploring color palettes, remember the power of neutral colors. They're like trusty sidekicks, always ready to complement and enhance any other color they meet.
