Gray  
Stark, all-over black or white schemes might elicit a wince. But there's something quite comfortable about meeting these two colors together in the form of gray.

Gray's kinship with other popular colors makes it very appealing. It can have a touch of blue that makes it icy; silver, giving it a flash of luxury; or yellow, for a bit of warmth.
