Colour 101..

Colour is scene differently by everyone, meaning beige to one person could be totally different to the next person. Neutrals are timeless when used properly; “beige” is a neutral colour which can have a red or green undertone with a yellow base. Beige was a popular colour choice 10 years ago. An example of this is Benjamin Moore’s (Bm) CC-110 Muslin.

Taupe is a colour that is your half way point between gray and beige, over the past few years taupe has been popping up everywhere. It is considered to be a muddy colour which can also be either red or green undertone with a gray base. For example Bm CC-500 Ranchwood.

You then you have your “gray-eige”(word I created to describe the lonely colour group), another neutral that is half way between beige and gray without being muddy that is made in a yellow base. For example Bm AF-100 Pashmina.

Gray is a colour that has many undertones such as red, green, blue or purple. Gray is dominantly a cool colour that has a blue undertone. Gray has been the colour trend over the past year but will fade out soon enough. Bm HC-168 Chelsea Gray.
