It is easy to discuss facts or issues that rely on logic. But when it comes to taste, the situation gets messy. What one person considers stunning, another may find atrocious. This dilemma is especially problematic when you are trying to sell something, yet you are not quite familiar with your potential buyer’s taste. Besides, we can never know with absolute certainty what a particular buyer is looking for. Most experts advise you to spruce the place up a bit to make the quickest sale at a price closest to what you initially desired. Although it is impossible to get your home to be liked by everyone, here’s a little help with colors. In the following text, you will find seven suggestions related to the best paint colors for selling your home. That should be enough for a good start of a fruitful preparation for a successful sale.
#1 The statistics show that whites and creams are most people’s favoriteThe white interior of a home (as much as the exterior) and light creamy colors have by far been the most popular in the past. This is understandable when you take into consideration our subconscious preconceptions about this color. Or better yet, the lack of one. In a person’s mind, white equals clean. Clean equals the absence of dirt and, therefore, better living conditions. All these subconscious thoughts send a favorable signal to the brain about the interior that person is in. Creamy colors have a very similar effect, with a single difference in that their warm undertones are a tad more pleasant to the eyes.
Another benefit of white and all its shades is that it mixes well with all other colors, with no exceptions. The practical people that consider purchasing your home will find the more mixable colors better than the color scheme that is hard to alter without major remodeling. Finally, the whites and the creams have been around for a long time, and it doesn’t seem they will go out of style any time soon. That makes them an excellent choice.
#2 Warm neutrals are inviting and cheerfulNeutral colors are also an excellent choice, given their big capacity to mix and match with anything else – the same argument as with whites and creams. However, in the world of colors, there is a critical division one needs to understand when it comes to neutrals. Each neutral color has an undertone that steers it toward the cooler or warmer end of the scale. Cold neutrals’ undertones are blue, purple, and green, and they inspire a more relaxing quality in these nuances. On the other hand, warm neutrals are enriched with a touch of red, yellow, or orange. These make them more vibrant, yet by no means aggressive. As their name implies, warm neutrals will warm the souls of your potential buyers. The experts for relocation from Four Winds KSA say many of their clients decided to buy their new home precisely because of the warm and homely feeling they had when they were viewing it. Therefore, consider the warm neutrals.
#3 Multiple shades of gray are one of the best paint colors for selling your homeAlthough technically neutral, grey deserves to be discussed separately, thanks to its enormous popularity. There’s something about it that has millions of people crazy about this color all over the world. Its versatility, in many ways, is probably to blame. It’s easily combinable with all one can find in the color palette. Also, the grey color manages to make the space elegant and sophisticated, both in modern settings and in classically styled rooms. But maybe the quality of this color that makes it stand out from all the rest is its unique ability to bring out the best in other colors it is paired with. The pastels will become more vibrant next to grey, whereas the warm neutrals will become even warmer and more inviting. All in all, choosing gray is never a mistake.
#4 Pastels – the children’s bedroom dominating colorsPastel is any color that is not very saturated. These have established very firm domination in children’s bedrooms. In recent years, these soft hues have migrated to other rooms as well, and no one seems to mind. They are relaxing for the eyes while retaining vibrancy and quirkiness – a combo that makes them so desirable. Families with children will surely fall in love with your home if they find pastels in it. Also, bear in mind that not all are buying a place to live in; they might want to turn it into a rental. Renters highly appreciate certain updates, among which is the aesthetic appeal of the home. Houses are predominantly rented to families rather than single people, so the pastels are an excellent choice for the interior of the future rental.
#5 Dark masculine combinations are ultra-modern and sensualNot all people are into lovey-dovey nuances that cheer you up from the front door. Some like it dark and sensual with a touch of mystery, that dark interior based on black, dark brown, and dark grey are all about. But be careful when you remodel your home to become darker. These colors are hard to remove from the furniture and other items should the paint drip onto them. The best way to protect them is to store your belongings during the remodeling somewhere else, such as in the garage or the rented storage unit.  
#6 Golden hues smell of luxuryThe gold color has been coming and going out of style for centuries, and at the moment, it is at the top of its popularity with the potential to never become boring. But don’t use it as a dominant color in a room. Think of it as a cherry on top of a cake. The pops of gold in a room, such as in a bathroom, can transform a dull interior into a luxurious space. And the best of all is that you can introduce it yourself very easily, without any special help.
#7 Green is super trendy at the momentFinally, if you want your home to attract people that follow trends, green is your go-to color. Almost all its shades are indulging in huge popularity at the moment across all rooms and styles. But if we had to pick one, it would have to be the October Mist – the palest of greens that captivates even the most fleeting of hearts.
Bottom lineAgain, the tastes in colors are hard to discuss, rationalize, or even predict. But with these seven paint colors for selling your home, you will not make a mistake. And most importantly, you will obtain your perfect buyer and conclude the sale to the satisfaction of everyone involved.
