Many Filipino homeowners usually reach for light neutrals when choosing paint colors for their homes. This is understandable because people would rather err on the safe side, in the sense that light hues for walls are a versatile background, can more easily match existing furnitures and fixtures, and are easier to combine with other colors. Also, you wouldn’t have to use special primers like the red and the yellow colors in FORGE.
