Usually biege, but wouldn't that depend on the part of the world you are from? If Georgia, then reddish-brown. If Hawaii, then Hawian Tropic? Oh! Wait! What was the question again?

Actually, this depends on what you're talking about...if it's carpet, I'll stick w/ my previous ans. If it's hardwood - some form of brown (and no red tones). If it's clothes, black.

If it's nail polish, it's french manicure white on white.

If it's shoes, white if it's summer, black if it's winter.

In my area, most people tend to think of a light beige when they hear "neutral color" and it's the color most often found in properties that are flipped. Essentially, they think of light colors (off-white, beige, light gray) that go with just about any other color you may bring into the home (furniture, decor, linens, etc.).
