This is such a beautiful putty-beige neutral. It does’t feel too pink or purple, which can sometimes happen. This color is the perfect mix of brown and gray in a contemporary shade.

A welcoming warm white! Even just the color, ‘Steamed Milk,’ feels like the perfect choice. This white is used on a traditional meets farmhouse style home. And it looks great with a rich walnut colored wood accents.
