I’m going over the hottest and trendiest colors being used in real estate today. 

Gray and grayish colors are very popular for interior walls right now. In fact, Sherwin-Williams reported that their hottest color for 2016 was called “Reposed Gray” with another hot color being “Amazing Gray.” 

For trim colors, doors, and cabinets, the hottest color is Sherwin-Williams “Pure White,” which is a big go-to color. If you’re looking for a great accent color, “Tricorn Black” has been a steady staple for awhile now.

As far your exterior goes, find a house in the area where you live that has a similar exterior style and pick a color scheme that you like. Find out from the current homeowner what colors they used for their exterior body color and the exterior trim. That’s going to be a much better approach than trying to pick out a color from the samples. 

Stay away from yellow, blue, and bold green colors and instead stick to gray and earth tone colors. In addition, if you are thinking about front door colors, one of the staples is that Tricorn Black, which is also great for shutters.
