The color scheme of your home from the outside in, sets the tone. It's like going to see a theatre play and seeing an intricately crafted and appropriately painted set for the production. It can immediately intrigue you–before the play has begun and even if you knew few details about the play.
There's been a trend to paint just the front door a deep, rich color like red. This may not be appealing to all. However, buyers would tend to overlook it because it's a simple change as well as one that can easily and cheaply be changed to the new owner's choice. As long as the colors look good together, this wouldn't necessarily turn buyers away.
Paint inside your home: One good tip for sellers is that if they can do nothing else, they should get some fresh paint up on the walls. The new paint helps showcase the home and gives it a new-home feel. This makes a big difference in the "feeling" of your home: crisp, clean, "new" and inviting.
There are a wide variety of interior colors. Don't feel like you have to go with only beige. You can be a little more daring, using bold accent colors--particularly on walls or rooms that face the south. Painting a small room a dark color will give a dark, closed-in feeling, so think about the size and location of each room before you paint. Aim to create comfort, a sense of calmness, relaxation, and a place where family can unwind. Earth-tone colors convey this very well.

For a more chic and sophisticated look, interior designers often choose from the grey palette. A dark grey color can create a bold statement and attract the eye to a particular area. We just painted a room in our house grey, and we love it!
Whatever colors you choose, remember that your aim is to appeal to the masses. Test the colors out first. Get opinions from the experts.
