There are 9 Neutral Undertones we need to keep track of: Pink Beige, Orange Beige, Gold Beige, Yellow Beige, Green Beige, Green Gray, Blue Gray, Violet Gray, and Taupe. The color wheel is an essential tool for artists and designers since it shows the relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. In terms of understanding undertones, comparing a paint color to the colors in the wheel can help determine whether its undertone is more yellow, violet, or any other hue.

Undertones affect the way colors interact with one another and can throw off the feel of a perfectly curated space if not given proper attention. Below, we've provided an undertone color wheel and several undertone examples to help you see the value in understanding these subtle differences. Pair your Neutral Colour Wheel with Maria's eBooks for step-by-step guidance, photos, and a complete list of paint colours by undertone.

The eBooks make the wheel even more powerful! Consider color temperature. Warm colors typically have undertones that are orange, yellow, or red, while cool colors have undertones that are green, blue, or purple.

If you don't want to analyze the undertone too intently, just figure out if the color looks warm or cool to you, and what kind of mood you want your space to have. Identify your neutral's undertone (yellow, pink, blue, green), then consult the color wheel for harmonious pairings. Neutrals with blue undertones pair beautifully with those carrying purple undertones (adjacent on the color wheel).
