Neutral color and Accent color Palette

NEUTRAL COLORS

Build in your wardrobe, clothes that have neutral colors, versatile and flattering dulled or muted tones of every hue as well as black, white and gray.

How do you spot a neutral color. The less  bright the color, the more neutral it becomes. It should be fairly muted to look at.

Wardrobe neutrals are needed most by people employed in formal, conservative, public or service oriented businesses- also for those in leadership positions.

A darker wardrobe neutral in cooler weather and a lighter wardrobe neutral in summer/warm weather.

You can add bright or contrasting accent colors for more interest and variety.
