According to experts, blue is generally the best color for resale. Although it depends on the room and the shade, painting in neutral tones of blue often adds value to rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom. White is often perceived as boring and can reduce the value of certain rooms. KILZ representatives named Antique White, Barely Mocha and Porpoise Grey as their outdoor favorites.
All of these colors vary depending on the time of day and light level, making them dynamic but discreet options for exterior walls. Home sellers should almost always opt for light, neutral tones such as beige, gray and off-white. Gone are the days when light blue was reserved for nurseries and children's rooms. Now, light blue can also be found outside the home and, when chosen wisely, can make a (usually) smaller house go from boring to charming.
Of course, selecting a blue that is timeless is key to keeping the resale value high, so consider opting for a powdery blue with shades of gray for a more neutral effect.
