No wallpaper please! It is such a personal choice that most people will want to remove it.

Definitely not white.
Hall could be a pale warm yellow.
Bedrooms could be beige or cream. Wallpaper would be nice.


Yellow or beige walls would make me bid less on a house since I would definitely need to repaint.

griege it will be dark enough to wear and appealing enough to attract buyers, white is awful and will wear quickly

I like Ballet White too. Pale Oak is also nice if you want just sightly more saturation.

A few years ago, literally every house on the market was either Accessible Beige or Agreeable Gray ... and honestly those have both aged pretty well in the many houses where nobody repainted.

All of those things are going to impact what colors look nice in your house.

We redid our floors last year, as part of a major reno. I asked them to repaint the walls and doors the same neutral color they were before, because we absolutely loved them. A beautiful calming mushroom shade of light greige/neutral off white, leaned with brown almost green undertone that worked lovely in our home. Came by the house after the new floors and paint were in and i did not believe it was the same color. Looked unnatural purple undertone. The color looked dramatically different with new floors that had a totally different undertone.


You’re way overthinking it. And sound nuts fwiw. If op has a modern home and is interested selling in a year or two, something like decorators white is a good choice.

Talk to your realtor, who should know what will help with a sale.

The best color is one that goes with the undertones of your existing fixtures, such as the brick of a fireplace or the color of the wood of your bathroom cabinet or existing trim. The biggest error is when people don’t match that stuff and end up with a color that makes everything look off. Identify the tones that are staying and pick something related. A paint store person can help suggest popular compatible shades.

Pick a neutral color, something that would max the number of interested buyers. I would pick some sort of beige or off-white color.
