Understanding daisyUI semantic theme colors

[ChristopherHButler]

I have read through the daisyUI documentation on colors and it's entirely possible I missed it somewhere, but I am trying to understand how the neutral color is decided. It seems like it is base-200 using the theme generator, could that be correct?

When you need a dark, unsaturated color which stays dark on both dark and light themes, you can use neutral
An example would be the code block on this page: https://daisyui.com/docs/install/ We want that to be a dark block on both light and dark themes. We can't just use a negative color (like base-100/base-content) because a big white block on a dark theme is not ideal.

Let me know if you have a question.

Thanks for the quick response.
I think I meant to say default color, not neutral. It seems like the default color is base-200 using the theme generator? That's not quite intuitive to me.
