>>5499167... yeah, that's basically what neutral is.
You can build most anything onto it and it'll still look good, unlike other colors and styles.
It's basically fad proof, unlike wood.
It will fit in almost anywhere and you always know you can buy any style of furniture later, because black is black. Whereas with wood veneer, you find a piece that you like but it's in cherry instead of oak, so your shelves all mismatch.
