Will 2017’s Color of the Year Help Sell Your Home?

For the past 17 years, Pantone – the world-renowned authority on color – has unveiled what they believe to be the color of the year. Their selection historically influences all facets of design, including home décor.

2017’s Color of the Year is Greenery. According to Pantone, Greenery signifies beginnings: a fresh New Year; healthier food resolutions and growing vegetarian trends; grass and the outdoors during spring and summer. But most prominently, the yellow-green hue (specifically, Pantone 15-0343) reflects on the concept of “environment.”

So, should you head straight to the paint store to update your home to this newest trend before putting it on the market?

According to Market Watch and their analysis of what colors attract homebuyers, maybe a hint of Greenery will help you quite a bit.
