\nSome homeowners see brown as a bolder step up from beige. Not true reports Zillow. The color costs you money because potential buyers saw it as boring and bland. Also avoid taupe, tan, and beige.<\/p>\n
\nNets you: $1,526
\nAs a close option to brown, try greige. It\u2019s the modern update to beige and white. Painting your exterior this color can bring in an additional $1,500 plus more offers.<\/p>\n
\nCosts you: $820
\nYellow kitchens were in fashion for several years but are now seen as passe. Buyers turned their noses at kitchens that were straw, dusty yellow, marigold, and other buttery variations of the bright color. Color specialists have noted the warm tone can be uplifting but quickly goes too far, creating a feeling of frenzy.<\/p>\n

\nBlue is back in soft and subtle shades. Light blues and gray-blues were the winners for kitchen colors this year. These colored kitchens generally netted an additional $2k in home offers. Blue is widely accepted and a popular choice. With kitchens being a busy room in the home, the notion that blue kitchens sell better makes sense.<\/p>\n

\nWhite and just off white bathrooms can seem like they would feel clean and tidy. Wrong. While white will make the room seem more significant, it\u2019s a bear to keep pristine for showings. Since bathrooms often have few windows and little natural light, the color tends to make the room look flat.<\/p>\n
\nNets You: $5,440
\nBlue wins again, in particular periwinkle. Houses with variations of blue bathrooms brought in $5,440 more this year. For a small room paint job, that\u2019s a significant return.<\/p>\n
\nCosts you: $209
\nPink is past its prime. The color tends to be very polarizing. For a kids\u2019 room, pink in any form is going to cost you. It seems that while pink was chic for several years, it\u2019s over now.<\/p>\n
\nNets you: $1,856
\nUse blue in Cadet or Light Cerulean to tickle buyers. Bedrooms in these two blues, in particular, brought in nearly $2k more.<\/p>\n
\nCosts you: $2,031
\nMost color consultants will tell you that terracotta belongs on your planters, not your walls. The color is jarring with the red and copper undertones. Buyers found that the color costs them $2,000 on their final sale prices.<\/p>\n
\nNets you: $1,926
\nIf you are set on taking a color from nature for your dining room, go with slate. The gray-blue color is calming and relaxing. Try pairing it with white shiplap or trim to brighten the room. When compared to white dining rooms, the extra offer was $1,926 higher.<\/p>\n
\nCosts you: $820
\nWhile grays and blues are trending in some areas of your home, keep it out of the living room. Periwinkle and pastel gray both cost homeowners almost $1,000 on sales.<\/p>\n

\nBoring beige is still requested for living rooms. It seems the warmth of the color lends itself to living rooms. Homes with pale taupe or oatmeal living room walls sold for almost $2,000 more than living rooms in other colors.<\/p>\n
