When your home is for sale, it is now a product that needs to appeal to the greatest number of buyers. Walls, along with the floors, are the bones of a home and they need to be in good condition and neutral in appearance so that they do appeal to the greatest number of buyers.
Paint Sheens (all Benjamin Moore Regal)
Follow these guidelines for choosing paint finishes:
If you prefer to choose one finish for walls in all rooms, then Eggshell is recommended.
Paint Colors
Before purchasing any paint, test a sample on the wall. Benjamin Moore now sells small jars of the most popular colors, or invest in purchasing a quart. If the wall has a dark color on it, hold a white piece of paper next to your sample. Look at your sample painted swatch at different times of the day to see if it changes color with the lighting.
When painting a home that is for sale, it is best to stick with neutral colors. And that doesn't mean white, as it is very stark and cold. It also doesn't mean it has to be some variation of off-white or beige, but can be a certain shade of green, blue, brown, gold or earth-toned red.
If you wish to "play it safe", the following is a list of colors that are in the off-white or beige category.
Recommended Neutral Paint Colors For Walls
Below are color swatches of my recommended netural paint colors, as well as a list of the colors. Keep in mind that the appearance of the color on the swatch may not reflect it's true color as it depends upon the monitor settings with which you are viewing them.
Note: All Benjamin Moore
Do you have any favorite neutral colors you use or recommend? I'd love to add them to my list.

Some quotes from past clients:
When I met with Matt and Stephanie of tAg, I knew they were a good fit for the property we were selling. Our apartment sold within our price target zone, within a week of listing. I would surely call on them again. Fred and Anne Stesney
