Neutral paint colors don’t just sell homes, research shows that they actually have the power to get you more for your home! Many people may assume that “neutral” means exclusively white. However what you should really aim for is a shade that is light and natural, but also has enough personality to draw buyers in and make a statement.

“Warmer” tones tend to be more intimate and are made with oranges, yellows and reds, while “cooler” tones are made with grays, greens, blues, and light purples, and can often make spaces feel larger. Popular paint companies like Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore make over 100 shades of gray.
