3) Painting Your Walls a Shade of Yellow

To brighten the moods of your family and friends, use this yellow in your home.  Light shades of yellow are great when staging your home to sell, as it leans towards neutrals, but still gives off a cheerful emotion to prospective buyers.

7) Painting Your Room Shades of Brown

8) Painting Your Room White Shades

WHITE denotes purity and wholeness. It’s thought of as the color of perfection. As the ultimate neutral – this is a recommended color choice for home sellers.

9) Painting Your Room Gray
