This “moody hue” is set to bring peace, serenity, depth and elegance to the bedroom. Deep navy blue is rated the top choice for bedroom paint colors, and could net your client $1,815 more.
Living Room: Charcoal Gray
Charcoal is emerging as a power color for living rooms, with homes painted in this shade earning $2,593 more on average. It also works well in kitchen and bedrooms.

Bright or outdated shades could work against your seller. Daisy yellow kitchens or living rooms dropped perceived value by nearly $4,000, while fire engine red cost sellers around $2,000 in main areas of the house.
