[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're selling I wouldn't use expensive BM paint. Go a step or two down. Maybe a Sherwin Williams neutral greige (accessible beige, agreeable gray, etc)[/quote]

Both these colors are like Revere Pewter. Stay away. I got samples of these and tested them and we have Revere Pewter in one part of the house.[/quote]

Maybe not those colors but definitely don't buy Benjamin Moore paint to stage and sell. The realtor will also tell you to use flat paint because it photographs well. We moved last year. The new (to us) house was freshly painted in a neutral but it's flat paint and shows every mark.

I use flat paint because I think it looks better. That’s kind of personal but I would tell anyone to pick it for staging a house. 
Is the price of SW that different from BM for a retail customer? I DIY painting and I’ve used both, but honestly don’t notice a difference.

There is different quality levels within both brands. Our house was originally painted with the cheapest SW Promar paint that contractors use. When we repainted we used BM Regal Select in matte. It is a huge difference in terms of both look and ability to clean it. I can wash stains from the BM paint. And that is still not their highest end paint. SW also has paint that is better than Promar and in the end, unless you are painting a  McMansion the difference in the cost of crappy and good quality paint won’t be huge. [/quote]
