Apply "Color Psychology" to Sell

Choosing the right colors for the exterior of your home can make a huge difference in the profit from the sale. It is proven that a certain shade of yellow will attract a buyer the fastest and the wrong shade of yellow can be detrimental to the sale. Also choosing more than just one or two shades of color can impact the price and speed for which its sold.

When choosing exterior colors, take the sales price of your home into account. Certain colors, especially muted, complex shades, attract wealthy or highly-educated buyers, whereas buyers with less income or less education generally prefer simpler colors. A complex color contains tints of gray or brown, and usually requires more than one word to describe, such as "sage green," as opposed to "green."
On the other hand, simple colors are straightforward and pure. Generally, houses in the lower price range sell faster and for higher prices when painted in simple colors like yellow or tan, accented by white, blue, or green trim.

Colors affect human beings in many ways, and by using the principles of Color Psychology, you can make your home stand out from the competition, sell more quickly, and at a higher price.

I found this very interesting and hope you will too. I usually just pick the colors that I like the most and have never really given a thought to the psychology aspect of it.

These tips do make a lot of sense. A perspective buyer does of course, see the exterior of a house, and if they like the way it looks, will want to see the inside. If they like the color of the exterior, it makes sense to pull those tones inside as well. Also it makes sense to use 'seasonal' colors to either warm up, or cool down the rooms in the house to make it more comfortable. If I ever get to flip houses in earnest, I will remember the tips in this post. I think it would also make sense to use in our own homes. I'm like you and use colors I like when I paint the exterior, but have never thought of pulling those tones to the inside. I may just have to try this, and see if it makes a difference.

I can see how this might work in getting a buyer to feel like the colors are working toward the buy and the not having to paint it when they move in but not all people are the same and not all colors are going to work it may take a long time to find the right buyers to buy the house that you have uses the color psychology to paint it to suite them so hope you are not in hurry to move the house or then you just might sell it in the first showing
