Define neutral

Our landlord had the walls of our entire house freshly painted in a nice neutral color. Sort of light taupe and/or white everywhere. I define that as neutral.

Last week, we left a note, in Dutch, for the painters ( who speak Dutch) asking if they could paint the upstairs bathroom door because it was green. OBVIOUSLY not matching the new neutral paint scheme we had going on. We said in our note "een neutrale kleur is prima" (any neutral color is fine).

I kid you not, when I went back the following day, the bathroom door was THIS neutral color.

All I can say is that it's definitely not green any more.
