Neutral almost by definition, nude or bare shades in design can be very serene.  For example, the nude body is a natural art form, something very beautiful in its understated simplicity.  I like the concept of stripping down to a basic, raw level that can go with anything.  Starting from such bareness, a simple insertion of color adds interest without detracting from an overall calm mood.
