Selling a home is all about curb appeal and price. Some exterior paint colors work better than others. Homebuyers gravitate toward homes that look inviting, calming, relaxing, and cozy.

Home exteriors include many different components that all must work together to bring a cohesive look and feel. There are exterior paint colors that are still popular with most homebuyers. Here are a few paint colors to choose from before you list your home.

Neutral Colors

Homebuyers want to be able to picture themselves in your house. Neutral colors don’t offend and are kind to the senses. They offer a neutral backdrop so that potential buyers can visualize their belongings in your home. Neutral colors are also light, bright, and welcoming which will go a long way to help sell your home.

Contemporary-style homes, ranch houses, and traditional-looking homes pair well with a mix of grey and beige, or what is called “greige”. This color is classic and agreeable. It shows off a home’s clean lines and accents. A neutral beige looks great with partial brick exteriors or accents. A pop of color on the door or trim will help create an inviting feel.

Blues

When it comes to home exteriors, blue is a great choice. It’s also extremely versatile. Many shades of blue trend toward gray, making them feel neutral, while still helping your home stand out from the rest. You can choose from a light blue or go darker with a navy exterior.

When choosing a blue exterior paint color, think about how the rest of your home’s trim, accents, and roof will look with it. This color looks great on homes that are highly visible from the street or have large expanses of exterior wall space.

White

White complements any style of home and is trendy, especially among new builds and condos. A white exterior gives a clean and fresh look. It gives potential buyers a clean slate to style it the way they want. The right white color is important. You don’t want to choose a stark white, but rather a soft warm white with creamy undertones. A white home paired with black exterior features is classic.

Warm Earth Tones

Soft browns and taupe are great exterior colors that blend in with natural surroundings. These colors will stand out against dark green foliage or a healthy lawn. This will appeal to many home buyers. It evokes warmth while setting your home apart from the rest.
