As with interior walls, you can't go wrong with neutral tones when painting the exterior of your home. Shoppers like to look at a blank slate. It helps them to project their design ideas into a house and to imagine living there. White, beige, gray and tan are favorites among designers and real estate agents when it comes to repainting the exterior of homes.
The latest trends in interior paint colors are warmer shades of neutral white, gray, and fresh, inviting tones. Behr's Canvas White and Origami White, by Sherwin Williams, are two of this year's trendiest neutral colors. Sherwin Williams pure white (SW 700) is a versatile off-white color often used in the kitchen, bedroom or living room. Sherwin Williams Aleutian is a powdery blue color with enough gray undertones to act as a fantastic neutral backdrop for any interior wall.
It's a rich, luxurious paint color that works well in a home office, dining room, or as a contrasting color for kitchen island cabinets. On average, exterior paint jobs last four to six years, so it might be time to take out the paint rollers if it's been a while. If you're looking for a safe, science-backed option that will appeal to buyers, the best thing to do is choose a neutral color. The combination of gray and beige matches perfectly, allowing this color to match most existing home paint color palettes.
In fact, the color is deep enough to work in large rooms with lots of sunlight and, at the same time, is bright enough to open up smaller spaces. Most professional painters agree that Regal Select by Benjamin Moore is the best quality interior paint you can buy. Sherwin-Williams sea salt (SW 620) is a popular “neutral” coastal color for interiors that combines gray and green. The right type of paint for your home will depend on several factors, including what material the exterior of the house is made of, the degree of traffic in the area and the climate in which you live.
