If you had a request for a "neutral" bed quilt, what would that mean to you?

I am thinking creams, tans, browns......any suggestions? I liked the "creme brulee" quilt that was posted and then gone..... but it was just two colors.

To me, neutral is something that goes w/ everything - that means whites and ivories. The Alex Anderson quilt looks brown to me - not neutral.
Try to find out what they mean by neutral - Browns and tans to me is not "neutral", but I don't like tans and browns.
Colors are such a personal choice, i hope you can get a better definition. The idea of going to look at their registry is a great idea.

Having just read 4 pages of what is neutral, it's clear that neutral means different colors to different people. To me, it would be limited to hues in the lighter range of the value scale, but could include one, some, or all of the colors white, cream, beige, taupe, and gray.
As was suggested, why not ask?
