best paint colors for staging: Feature This... Staging Tip No. 3427 - Living Out of a Paper Sack is Good for You! - 12/09/11 05:45 PM
I don't care what you call it.
Caramel, Cafe Au Lait, Ginger Snap or Lil' Chihuahua,
if the paint on the walls can be color-matched to a paper bag,
it's probably too dark to be considered a neutral appropriate for staging in today's market.
This is especially true if the ceiling is of average height.
 
In fact, you heard it here first... the paper bag colors are passé.
Just like the delightful shades of country blue, mauve, seafoam green, and
peach dates an 80's-90's house, the paper sack look is dating the houses of the
2000's.
