The Neutral Palette

Mixing Colors
One of USM's great strengths is the ability to mix colors within a single unit:
Complementary Pairs
- Black + Yellow: High contrast, modern edge
- White + Red: Bold yet balanced
- Grey + Blue: Professional calm
Tonal Combinations
- Light Grey + Mid Grey: Sophisticated gradient
- White + Beige: Warm neutrality
Accent Strategy
Use one colored panel among neutrals to create a focal point without overwhelming the space.
Making Your Choice
Consider these factors:
- Room lighting — Dark colors absorb light; light colors reflect it
- Existing furniture — Match or intentionally contrast
- Room size — Light colors expand small spaces
- Use case — Professional settings may call for neutrals
