As a general rule if your home has unique or vivid colours it’s best to repaint before you sell. These homeowners were advised by their realtor to do just that. To keep the continuity we painted the main bathroom and two of the bedrooms in the same off-white that was used in other areas of the house. The best choice for resale is something on the lighter side, neutral or earthy in tone so that it will appeal to the largest group of potential buyers.
