Are you planning on painting your home’s exterior before you put it up for sale? According to paint companies and real estate professionals, there is a list of top-selling colors that help sell homes at a quicker pace.

First and foremost, do not over complicate the look of the exterior with a ton of color. It is advised that color combinations should be kept at a max of three colors. You should use a color palette that appeals to a wide variety.

Best Neutral Exterior Paint Colors:

  • Painter’s White by Behr
  • Simply White by Benjamin Moore
  • Shorebird by Dutch Boy Paint
  • Antique White by Kilz
  • Accessible Beige by Sherwin-Williams
  • Warm Putty by Valspar

Best Paint Colors for Architectural Features:
Andrea Magno, Benjamin Moore’s director of color marketing says “you should use materials, such as brick or stone on the exterior, to inspire the color palette.” If you have stone or brick details don’t think that means you can’t add extra color. You may feel the urge to add a fun pop of color on part of your home exterior, but be careful. Bold and bright colors can be overwhelming and clash with the natural coloring of the land.

Best Paint Colors for Front Doors:
The front door is the spot where you can really experiment. Navy blue has been rated as one of the most favorable colors to paint a front door. You can also try an eye-catching pop of color to create a focal point.
