What Are Neutral Colors?
Neutral colors are soft tones that are thought of as muted colors but have underlying tones that change with different lighting. Examples of neutral colors include beige, taupe, gray, cream, brown, black and white. Neutral colors complement primary and secondary colors. You can combine primary colors such as red, white, and blue to create a range of other colors!
When creating secondary colors, it is necessary to mix two primary colors such as green (yellow plus blue), orange (yellow plus red) and violet (red plus blue). Mixing different colors creates unique shades, so neutral colors can be complex in tone. Neutral colors vary within themselves as pure neutrals, close to neutrals, and warm-cold neutrals.
White Backsplash
White is a timeless color that can easily be paired with all colors! It is also helpful in keeping surfaces clean for users as stains are easier to detect clearly. Using white for the kitchen also gives the impression of proper hygiene and cleanliness.
In addition, especially glossy white backsplashes provide a refreshing look, as they create a clean feeling. However, patterned, textured white backsplashes can also look great and add neutral vibrancy. White backsplashes which never go out of fashion and always adapt easily to any kitchen style, are the first choice for everyone.
