The MGD Neutral Paint Guide

Design
December 17, 2020

In our book, a good neutral paint color is the perfect accent to pair alongside fresh white walls, to achieve an effortless, laid-back design aesthetic. A good neutral adds a warmth that traditional white tones don’t quite seem to capture, and is a favorite go-to of ours for cabinetry, millwork, interior doors and trim work. Take a peek at a few of our favorite neutral paint colors below — we’d love to see them in your homes!

    What color paint did you use for the waterfront cabin in Lake Arrowhead kitchen cabinets? I would love to know, thank you!

    Your work is absolutely beautiful! Could you please share what exterior colors were used for the body and patio french doors on the Spanish Canyon project? Thank you 🙂

      Thank you so much! The exterior is Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore, and the door color was custom color matched to the windows so we don’t have a specific hue to share!
