Hello,

We are probably going to sell our house this year.  It needs to be repainted on the inside.  What would be the best color to choose?  I know this is very subjective, but I would love to hear ideas.

The realtor said white is very in right now, but I wonder if that is too stark?

There are a lot of different shades of white and some are not as stark as you would think.  I think that white is a good idea because it looks clean and it's neutral.  It can be softened with accent colors on pillows, drapes, etc.  Good luck with the sale of your home.

I was going to suggest white ... there are many shades of white that are a“soft white” & look beautiful on the walls .... white lights up the room!!😀

The man who did all our painting when we lived in Pittsburgh told me that the color he paints the most - far ahead of all other colors by a long shot - is IVORY.

When we decided to paint our house to prepare it to sell that was the color he told us to paint it. We did - it sold in 9 days.

I am painting a couple of rooms in my home Dove White from Benjamin Moore. It’s a color that seems to go with everything..both warm and cool colors.

i saw it in someone else’s home and fell in love.

I have a 2,000 sq. ft - 2-story house - and the builder had all the walls painted off-white. A few times, I thought of painting my kitchen yellow - and my bedroom a soft blue. But --- I really like the off-white. I have lots of colorful art on the walls, throw pillows on my sofa, and items on my kitchen counter - so there's lots of color.

Greige...I hear people are loving shades of greys and tans...Balboa Mist gets my vote! 🙂

I just painted a new house in shades of white.  All Sherwin Williams colors.  White Linen, Steamed Milk and Morning Daylight.

I want my house to look light, bright and cheery even on a cloudy day.

I thought grey would be the most revered color suggested here.  So many seem to love it.

I can't.  I just can't.  

It wouldn't match one thing I own in any of my homes.

I really like a warm white. I painted all my trim with Mayonnaise by Benjamin Moore a few years ago and now I am thinking about doing all the public area in Mayonnaise.  The trim will be a different texture so it will still stand out.  I am going to paint my bathroom black. The rest of our home will be Mayonnaise.  My bathroom has ivory travertine floors and shower and Absolute black granite counter tops.
