Neutral undertones sit between warm and cool, giving you flexibility across both palettes. Many neutrals can wear a wider range of colors without looking washed out.

Key signs

  • Gold and silver jewelry both work
  • Pure white and cream both look fine
  • Mixed results from undertone tests

Best color families

  • Balanced neutrals (taupe, stone, soft white)

Styling tips

Choose colors that are neither too warm nor too cool. Soft, balanced shades often feel the most harmonious.
