What are Neutral Colors in Fashion?
Neutral colors are shades that don't lean strongly toward any hue: black, white, grey, beige, tan, navy, and brown are common examples. They mix easily with each other and with accent colors, so they're the backbone of many capsule and minimal wardrobes.
Example: An outfit in all neutrals: a beige linen blazer, white tee, grey trousers, and tan loafers.
