[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're getting ready to list our rowhouse in Petworth (DC) to sell and are doing a fresh coat of paint over most of the house.

Our agent has advised either Manchester Tan or Conservative Gray. One of our painters has expressed issue that the Manchester Tan is too dark, and will likely require 2 coats (not something we want to spend extra money on right now). He recommended a Shell White.

Additionally, one bathroom has stone tile (and currently has a pretty bright grass color) and the other just got white subway tile with dark grout and oil rubbed bronze fixtures (dark brown). Tan and gray both seem like they'll clash in both instances - I'm thinking of a very neutral gray that tinges towards green or blue for each.

Any thoughts on this? Does it really matter that much?

No, not shell white!

Go with Revere Pewter Grey (Benjamin Moore).

Don't cheap out on this. Do you want to sell your place quickly or not?[/quote]

Revere pewter is probably too dark for a rowhouse. Get a sample of Benjamin Moore Edgecomb gray. It's a warm beigy gray and lighter than revere pewter. Your painter should do two coats no matter what color you pick. [/quote]
