Paleta de Colores
Por Qué Funciona
Warm neutrals succeed because they replicate the colors found in natural materials — sand, stone, wood, and clay — which the human eye finds inherently comforting. Color psychology research shows that warm tones promote feelings of safety and relaxation, which is why they are the default palette for hospitality design. The 60-30-10 rule applies naturally: 60% warm white or cream on walls and large surfaces, 30% medium tones like taupe or caramel on furniture and rugs, and 10% darker accents in chocolate or warm charcoal. This palette is also forgiving — warm neutrals coordinate with virtually any accent color, making it easy to refresh a room with new textiles without repainting.

Preguntas Frecuentes
How do I keep a warm neutral room from looking boring?
Texture is the key. Vary surfaces — smooth leather, rough linen, woven jute, soft boucle, matte ceramic — so the eye stays engaged even without color contrast. Adding one or two organic elements like a plant or a piece of driftwood also prevents flatness.
What accent colors work with warm neutrals?
Nearly everything. For a classic look, add terracotta or rust. For freshness, introduce sage green or dusty blue. For drama, use black or deep charcoal. Warm neutrals are the most versatile foundation in interior design.
Which warm neutral paint color is most popular?
Benjamin Moore White Dove, Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, and Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone are consistently top choices. The right pick depends on your light — test samples on the wall and observe them at different times of day.
