remember a few years back when accent walls were a thing "hm, I have white walls and I don't know how to decorate them" "have you tried painting one of them red" brilliant

This powder room is cute. Everything else in this house runs the gamut from "a little much" to "literally disorienting," but I can't fault these people for knowing what they like and going for it, I guess. Except the billiard table, which is both ugly and looks uncomfortable to play on.

Why would you remove it at that point?

3D Megadoodoo posted:So one should just have white or ugly walls just on the off-chance that one might later acquire a thing of beauty? generally neutrals are the most flexible; that doesn't necessarily mean white. I personally have a combination of several grays and then softer tan from sherwin-williams. tans/browns/creams are coming back so I'm ahead of the curve! My bathroom is a blue with a bit of gray in it, so I got something for the wall that would match well with that (it has several oranges, browns and dark blues). going back to my friend, she wants to do a decidedly un-neutral paint color of Kiwi in her living room of her new house, but because of that she is going to have to replace several other items she has that would absolutely not match (for example a somewhat bright blue rug). Since it's not a neutral, you have a lot less options that would work well. In the case of kiwi, neutrals like slate gray tend to coordinate nicely. I think having more colorful, vibrant walls is fine if you really want the walls to stand out. But if you want the other elements of your room to stand out (like art, plants, rugs, etc.) it makes sense to me to have walls that are more neutral. I'm sure my friend's walls will draw a lot of attention when they are painted! actionjackson fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Nov 15, 2020 |

kiwi green is not neutral, you can look at those giant sample things that interior designers have, it's very much in the "green" family https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/neutral neutrals are more "earth tones" actionjackson fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Nov 15, 2020 |

I think you may be taking the phrase too literally  but kiwis are actually brown so maybe they are cheating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_tone "More generally, it refers to "neutral colors", which are muted and flat in an emulation of natural colors. Neutral colors can be created by mixing two complementary colors or combining a pure color with white, black, or gray. Pure-neutral colors include black, white, and all grays, while near-neutral hues include browns, tan, and darker colors."

So you skipped the paragraph before that which says “It can also refer to "natural colors" (colors found in nature) such as brown soil, green leaf, cloudy sky, as well as the red sun”

 I can tell this is a new idea for you so i hope this helps illustrate. Left is from “perfect palettes” by the same author, right is from the neutrals book. You can see how different applications of similar colors lead to very different effects. One is neutral and the other is decidedly not e: last one while i’ve got the book out

Red is especially popular choice, and I feel like white walls are reserved more for contemporary or 20th century art, tbh. One of my favourites is the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh with very vivid reds, greens and blues:

you see, according to this book which redefines neutrals by completely widening the criteria, that color is actually a neutral literally moving the goalposts from what the standard accepted definition is the fact that fuchsia is included shows how far out there that author is

more like I've worked with a couple interior designers and talked about paint a lot maybe the fact that your book is 180 pages should be a red flag that their definitions are a bit too liberal i'd be shocked at this point if she didn't stick in neon pink hypnophant posted:So you skipped the paragraph before that which says “It can also refer to "natural colors" (colors found in nature) such as brown soil, green leaf, cloudy sky, as well as the red sun” pretty sure virtually every color appears somewhere in nature, so that wouldn't be a very helpful definition to use the official flower of my state is a bright pink, I don't think that means bright pink is a neutral actionjackson fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Nov 15, 2020 |
