A taupe living room will appear rich and glowing. Black is bold, elegant, sophisticated and dominant. It looks great with white, gray and chrome. Black is used often in sleek and contemporary rooms. White implies virtue, purity, cleanliness, spaciousness and innocence.
White rooms tend to be very dramatic and create a feeling of quiet luxury.
A master bedroom with large amounts of white could become your oasis from a hectic world. Gray depicts a sedate, neutral and composed environment. Of course, there are many different shades and tints of each of the previous colors and each will have it's own distinct personality. Designers should base their color selections on how their client feels about a particular color. One person may be energized by a room filled with bright vivid colors, another person may find the intense hues tiring.
