Neutral paint colors consistently stand the test of time and sell homes at a higher price says Zillow’s chief economist Svenja Gudell in an article in cheatsheet.com

“To get the biggest bang for your buck, stick with colors that have mass appeal so you attract as many potential buyers to your listing as possible. Warm neutrals like yellow or light gray are stylish and clean, signaling that the home is well cared for, or that previous owners had an eye for design that may translate to other areas within the house.”

Here then are four colors never to paint your house (some of them might surprise you):

1. Eggshell White/Off white
2. Dark Brown
3. Terracotta
4. Slate Grey
