From the publication, SPRUCE:

Ochre. Mustard Yellow.
Whatever you want to call it: a recent color survey of thousands of homebuyers reveals that this color means, on average $18,000 lower in purchase price.

The paint colors that you choose for your home don't just influence your personal aesthetic and day-to-day moods. If you decide to move down the line, what color you decide to paint key rooms can have a major impact on your space's final selling price.

To find out which colors can help maximize your home's value, Zillow's 2026 Paint Color Analysis report surveyed over 4,400 recent and prospective home buyers on how interested they were in buying a home based on the color of its bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom. The company found that while neutrals are a staple, playing with color can ultimately pay off in the long run.

"White will always be a timeless, versatile choice, but sellers who default to all-white walls everywhere may be leaving money on the table," said Amanda Pendleton, Zillow's home trends expert, in a press release. "Buyers today respond to homes with soul, and paint is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to add personality and character to a space. The right colors can stop a shopper mid-scroll and instantly create an emotional connection, which ultimately drives higher offers."

"Amy Heflin is amazing! From the moment we hired her as our Realtor, she worked tirelessly and efficiently to sell our house. She advised us on staging the home, highlighted selling points and gave excellent advice. Because of her efforts, we sold within 10 days of putting it on the market. We also got exactly what we wanted on price.

Besides being an incredible Realtor, she is fun to work with. She really listens to her clients priorities and does whatever she can to make sure that the outcome suits them well.

I cannot recommend her enough. You won't be disappointed."
