Colors That Sell Your Home

Boring Beige is Out!

Moving soon? Don't paint your house beige before you put it on the market. According to Zillow, a light gray exterior can increase your home's value by $1,500. If you want to see a return of $5,000, paint your door black. And as for your home's interior, hire a color consultant to help you make it more appealing to potential buyers. Coldwell Banker reports that a professionally designed color scheme may increase offers by nearly 2%.

Color Combinations That Work

If you can't afford a color consultant, no worries! Here are a few color combinations that are sure to increase your curb appeal and make buyers excited to move in:

• Slate blue with white trim
• Navy with yellow accents
• Green with black shutters
• Gray with white and black accents
• Beige with brown trim
