Colors and Real Estate and our emotions

I have just returned from Brokers Tour here in Novato. On visiting many of the houses and condo's on the market I was struck by how the color of walls affect my emotional state. Colors can conjure up the feeling of deep serenity or on the contrary feelings of agitation. Colors are tricky. I can't begin to tell you the amount of times I have fallen in love with that little color chip and have promptly  fallen out of love into hysteria when seeing it on the walls. Here's my opinion, when staging or preparing a house for sale it is good to keep in mind to keep it simple, serene and inviting. The wall colors should create a nice back drop for the prospective buyers furniture.  Create a natural flow from one room to the next.  I like the Benjamin MooreSerenity line, the peaceful Jade combined with the Dove Tail creates a cool but inviting atmosphere.  Kelly Moore's color Tasajara is also a calm but classy looking color.  Of course there is always the lighting to consider so best to buy a quart and try it out. Good luck!!
