Neutral Paint Colour Flow Chart

Left to right: compare colours beside each other to judge undertone. Moving left shows colours that are cooler, grayer, or cleaner. Moving right shows colours that are warmer, creamier, beige, or more yellow. This helps answer: what is slightly cooler or warmer than the colour I selected?
Top to bottom: compare colours in the same column to judge lightness and depth. Moving up shows colours that are lighter, softer, or airier. Moving down shows colours that are darker, richer, or more grounded. This helps answer: what is lighter or darker than the colour I selected?
