Whites - The colour of innocence and purity. Clean and refreshing, white in its purest form can be stylish and cool or stark and demanding. White enhances and amplifies the effect on other colours. Off whites and creams are softer than pure white, and can be successfully substituted in many situations. White is great at making small spaces feel larger and brighter.

Browns - The colour of warmth and nature. From rich ochres to sandy beiges, browns are the colours from the earth. A rich chocolate brown can create a feeling of comfort and indulgence in a room. From yellow browns to red browns they combine beautifully to create rich highlights and help give a grounded, natural earthy feeling to a room. Browns and neutrals combine superbly with earthy reds and oranges and also natural greens.
