Whites and neutrals
- Pure White The gallery wall: every palette reads true, and the most vivid paintings lead, because strong color pops on white.
- Warm White A touch of cream softens the gallery look and flatters golden palettes, so the warmest paintings come first.
- Greige The modern neutral that hides behind almost any painting, with soft, muted works first.
- Light Gray Cool and even; lets blues and greens breathe, so the coolest palettes come first.
- Taupe A grounded mid-neutral for traditional rooms.
