My wife figures that with neutral walls, you can make any floor work and dress things up with furniture and decorations. Sure hon, whatever you figure  ;D

I like neutrals too, but prefer the warm neutrals...most grey shades are really cold. Most of the furniture in our 'nice' rooms (i.e anything that isn't a kids bed or play room) is 18th  or 19th century...some of it legit, some of it repo stuff. Similarly with artwork too, went through a phase where we were really into collecting old oil paintings, so lots of big gold gilded frames and dark oil colors. That sort of stuff looks out of place against cooler greys/neutrals IMO.
Unfortunately, most of this house was painted in greys when we moved in, so I've been slowly repainting to our tastes. Still have a long way to go though.

When I moved into my place almost 5 years ago now, I painted most of it in Benjamin Moore's OC-23 Classic Gray. Contrary to the name, it's more of a very warm grey bordering on beige, or at least that's how the lighting makes it appear in my place. Very neutral and you match many kinds of furniture, rugs, fabrics, etc. to it... I still like it a lot and would choose the same colour today. On the other hand, I painted one bedroom in a more specific green-ish colour, and I'm tired of it already and thinking of changing it.

Definitely a fan of neutrals over here... I also find it jarring when you go into someone's home and every room is a different colour, cuts off the flow a lot I find.

We have neighbors that just had their entire house painted a few years ago. Every room is a different color, it is quite jarring walking through their house with all different greens, reds, yellows, and such.

In my parents house the rooms are different colors but they're just different shades of white. ;D
