Light Colors
Beige is one of the most popular carpet colors.
Beige is a light color and can appear as a warm, neutral color, depending on its tone.
Beige can mask a slight stain and, as a neutral color, match almost everything.
Ivory, off-white, or light gray are other popular picks.
Some may hesitate to go stark white, fearing the potential for stains.
Warm Neutrals
Neutral carpet colorsare the most popular carpet colors.

Current trends favor neutrals in earthy hues, like warm gray or a cappuccino-colored beige.
Other warm neutrals include tan, cream, and brown.
Add bright colors with accessories, accent pillows, or wall hangings.
Cool Neutrals
One of the coolest neutral colors for carpets is gray.
A slight tint of blue mixes in with black and white to make a modern, sophisticated gray.

You may want to consider a flecked color if you dread seeing anything out of place on your carpet.
Keep in mind that very light and very dark colors show far more undesirable debris than midtones.
A carpet that is neither too light nor too dark will be the best color for masking these issues.
Carpeting with any intricate patterns will often be pricier than a solid.
Additionally, carpets offered in a wide range of more specialty colors may be more costly.
Always consider the material as well.
Natural fibers like wool and sisal will be more expensive than synthetic carpets made of olefin or polyester.
Another given is that the higher the quality of the carpeting, the more expensive it will be.
It’s a tie between the most popular carpet colors, gray and beige.
Both are so popular, it’s likely the reason greige has become a popular neutral.
Darker colors make a room feel cozier.
A brown-hued floor will likely look the cleanest.
Gray also hides dirt and dust.
To remain the cleanest, choose nylon for its durability and ease of cleaning.
