Play-it-Safe Neutrals

Real Simple's question of the month:
WHAT COLOR DO YOU USE MOST IN YOUR DECORATING AND WHY?
As I look around the living room, I see:
Dark Grey, Lighter Grey, Tan, and White



Basically, neutrals. They're versatile and forgiving and don't have to be exact matches of each other to work. They give me room to change my mind on accent colors, because even though I almost always choose green, I end up with a variety of greens that don't always coordinate. They're also calming and minimalist. But mainly, I tend to play it safe and choosing neutral decorations is just one more way for me to stay that way :)
