Can Color Cost You a Sale Part 2

I left you with the statement, " Research has shown the use of warm colors are favorable to buyers"-

Well, I am sure you are thinking , What colors are warm colors? Let's go with what studies have known to be true. The best color to lift a buyer's spirits was.................. the color "green". Now, green comes in many shades. I am not talking about lime green nor am I talking about neon green. When the color green is used it needs be very muted with a hint of grey to the base . This breaks down the tonal quality and the shade of green becomes very soothing. Green is also known as the color of Mother Nature. Does that mean you paint the entire house green- NO. This shade can be used as an accent color for a focal wall or niches. When painting a home to sell- I would use a warm shade of beige or taupe. This too exudes a feeling of calmness and enlarges the space making a home appear larger.
When your ready to list your home for sale- please call and I will help you chose paint colors so your home will sell as quick as possible!
