Pure achromatic colors include black, white, all grays and beiges; near neutrals include browns, tans, pastels, and darker colors. Near neutrals can be of any hue or lightness. For example, the "Achromatic" use of a white background with black text is an example of a basic and commonly <a href="/wiki/Default_(computer_science)" title="Default (computer science)">default</a> color scheme in <a href="/wiki/Web_design" title="Web design">web design</a>. </p><p><i>Neutrals</i> are obtained by mixing pure colors with white, black or gray, or by mixing two complementary colors. In color theory, neutral colors are colors easily modified by adjacent more saturated colors and they appear to take on the hue complementary to the saturated color.
