Preparing your home to sell quickly includes updating your spaces with paint colors that will appeal to most buyers.
While gray walls have been around for almost a decade, the tide is turning toward warm neutrals like soft white, cream, and even beige. Are you putting your home on the market soon or are you just ready for a color change? Here are our favorite and hard-working paint colors.
sea pearl
Don't leave all the gray paint colors behind just yet! It's the cool gray paint colors that seriously worry buyers, not the more balanced, warmer grays like Benjamin Moore Seapearl.
white ballet
Beige colors are still in fashion and are especially practical for updating homes with more dated fixtures. Benjamin Moore's Ballet White is a neutral pale beige.
Edgecomb Gray
Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray is a classic warm gray that will never go out of style.
white oyster
Sherwin Williams Oyster White is a fantastic color to use indoors and outdoors. This color is a shade darker than off-white, which warms the outside nicely and provides a clean, welcoming backdrop inside.
White Dove by Benjamin Moore
White walls have been around for a couple of years, but instead of a stark white that can instantly cool you down, opt for a soft off-white like White Dove. White Dove also works great with many of the popular quartz shades and would look great on cabinets.
pale oak
Once an overlooked color now coming to the fore as homeowners tire of cold gray walls, Pale Oak is a warm middle ground. Warmer than gray but cooler than beige, Pale Oak is actually a taupe color that works great to soften a space.
Manchester tan
Many of us have kitchens that were built during the brown trend, leaving us stumped on how to update them without going over budget. Enter Manchester Tan. Technically speaking, Manchester Tan is a beige that has very neutral undertones and pairs very well with many of the dark brown granites still found in kitchens today.
Healthy Navy
Give your home office a dramatic facelift when you opt for an ultra-saturated shade like Hale Navy. With more homeowners looking for a dedicated workspace, give your home office a little extra love by refreshing the space with a bold hue.
Hale Navy is a very deep navy blue with charcoal undertones, making it the perfect paint color for an office.
tate olive
Green is in fashion this year and adorns offices, kitchens and even outdoors. We like Benjamin Moore's Tate Olive for its nice muted green midway through.
