Giving your house a fresh coat of paint prior to selling continues to be one of the best updates you can do in terms of return on investment; not only does it make the home look fresh and clean but it provides for a great first impression and a well-maintained look!
You may have heard about choosing a neutral colour for selling a house. Sticking with neutrals eliminates any objections and distractions and provides buyers an easy backdrop for their belongings… it allows them to move right in and personalize it down the road if they choose!
There are countless neutrals to choose from, all with different undertones — some more pronounced than others. So how do you choose which colour may be best? The most important thing to keep in mind is paint colours should compliment the home’s existing fixed finishes such as flooring, countertops, and cabinets.

Some of the most common choices for selling a house would be lighter neutrals with little visible undertone. Some colours, by Sherwin-Williams, that are versatile and consistently work well in a variety of settings are:
- Alabaster SW 7006
- Agreeable Gray SW 7029 *shown in bedroom photo above
- Amazing Gray SW 7044
- Moderne White SW 6168
- Repose Gray SW 7015
- Worldly Gray SW 7043

Neutrals tend to be my favourite even when not thinking of resale! I like complimenting them with deep muted hues on accent walls!
And remember: Neutral coloured rooms don’t have to be boring! If you feel like you’re missing some colour, try pops of colour through artwork and accessories (new throw pillows)!
