Good Questions: Neutral Paint Color?

Hello AT,

I have a lot of black-and-white photographs. I'm looking for a good neutral wall color so that they'll really stand out. I want it to look sort of gallery-ish. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dear M.,

We've used Donald Kaufman Color DKC13 in two apartments, and we've been really pleased.

Of course, colors can look completely different in different spaces. We recommend always trying samples and then looking at the color on the wall throughout the day before committing to painting a large space.

More information on the Donald Kaufman Color Collection can be found here.

Another really great Donald Kaufman neutral is DKC 49
Or try Kelley Moore Fig Cookie... if it's too dark then a good option is to have it mixed 4 parts Kelly Moore White Shadow to 1 part Fig Cookie.... (Fig Cookie is on my bedroom walls, the 1/4 strength is on the ceiling and it works for me!)
