And having spent the last year indoors, many are seeking to energize their surroundings in new ways. However, home sellers should choose paint in neutral tones. Bold and dramatic paint colors often require a neutral primer before a surface can be repainted into whatever color the new homeowner wants. To the prospective buyer, that means time and money added to an already large purchase. But that doesn\u2019t mean you should just paint your house with primer and call it good. Instead, give your kitchen a new look with a solid color such as Behr\u2019s neutral Irish Cream, the faint violet of Benjamin Moore\u2019s Grape Ice, or the tinted gray of Sherwin-Williams Obi Lilac. These are colors anyone can appreciate and are easily covered by the next person to make your old house their new home.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Use a combination of earthy and bold colors in the kitchen with a multicolor palette. \u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organic and blush shades of rose have risen to the top,\u201d notes Jessica Wrubel of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/haguepartners.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hague Partners<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/16660\/AZ\/Scottsdale\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scottsdale, AZ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cFor a wall color or upper cabinet color with seedy glass inserts, try Benjamin Moore Pale Cherry Blossom 2101-60. A softer alternative to black is Railings No. 31 by Farrow and Ball. It\u2019s definitely more blue than black but elusive in certain lights, perfect for a bold statement island with a lighter contrast countertop. It can even be used as a wall color with a white baseboard to add contrast.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Embrace the two-toned cabinet trend with Sherwin-Williams Sea Spray and White.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cTwo-tone kitchen cabinets are becoming popular,\u201d remarks <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emeraldpainting.ca\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emerald Professional Painters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.ca\/on\/toronto\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toronto, ON<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cHomeowners are moving towards a white or neutral hue throughout the wall cabinets, while adding a splash of color throughout the base cabinets and island. Sea Spray by Sherwin-Williams is a popular color option with a perfect mix of green and gray undertones, setting the stage for unique kitchen and surrounding area decor options to provide a designer home feel and transformation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Incorporate blue hues for a subtle pop of color.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cGray is a neutral color that has been taking center stage for a while now; however, as brighter colors are being used more in the kitchen, there\u2019s one color that accents gray perfectly, and that\u2019s blue. Either a light or dark shade of blue is a perfect color for a kitchen because of how invigorating it can be. When using blue, it\u2019s important to use hints of white, gray, or a neutral color to keep it from being too intense and overwhelming the whole room,\u201d notes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/limepainting.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LIME Painting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-72761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/212-San-Gabriel-Hideaway-Cv-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/212-San-Gabriel-Hideaway-Cv-1.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/212-San-Gabriel-Hideaway-Cv-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/212-San-Gabriel-Hideaway-Cv-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/212-San-Gabriel-Hideaway-Cv-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/212-San-Gabriel-Hideaway-Cv-1-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/212-San-Gabriel-Hideaway-Cv-1-946x630.jpg 946w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/212-San-Gabriel-Hideaway-Cv-1-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neutral paint colors are best throughout the rest of your home\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the rest of your home, it\u2019s typically best to stick to a neutral color palette.
