The realtor who will be selling our house next spring has changed her mind about painting the interior gray. She says "livable green" is the hot new color.
She's seen it in enough homes now that she's jumping on the bandwagon. Also, softened green if you want something just a shade darker.
Works for me, we have a nice view of a garden so green is a good color to go with the view.
I think the name is hilarious, though. Funny how paint names don't really describe colors anymore. "Livable Green" and "Millennial Pink." Too funny.
why is it we are now conditioned to have to paint our homes before we sell them???? ergh, thanks HGTV...
I wouldn't paint your home green, some people will either like it or they wont.
The whole purpose of the beige / gray / neutral thing is to appeal to the largest group of buyers.
I am not crazy about gray or beige, but I could live with it until i deceided on what colors Id really like my home, where as green, (and I like green) but then again, we do have 3000 shades of green, the chances of your green the the winner would be slim to none.
So I wouldn't care what you realtor says is the next "spectacular" color, I'd do neutral to no color at all. Also, if you walls are in pretty good condition with the colors you have now, I wouldn't even paint them, of course that your choice..
and i so agree, the names of colors are really something? lol
just who thinks these names up??

I'd find a new realtor, frankly.
So, share what [i]Livable Green /I] is, please. I am curious about it.
Green is everywhere in clothing now. I usually see it in clothing more as a yellow green, often grayed, than on the blue side. But I've noticed this fall that deep blue green is out there too. I think green is a versatile color for rooms. Somewhere online I've seen a room painted a deep gray or blue, with an intensely green velvet sofa. Stunning. The sofa looks like it started life in the 1970s.
I've never encountered a realtor that told me what color to paint my walls.
I happen to like green. And have used several shades in my own home.
However, it's been my experience that the tint of the greens have turned over the past couple of years. The kitchen green which had more of a yellow tint (Spring green) has really yellowed. The dining room green (Pale Sage) more of a blue tint.... has gone more blue.
Anyway you can dump this agent?
I'm in the market for a new home. The listings which have gone pending the quickest... regardless of price point....have warm white walls..... or pale toast walls. And not an accent wall to be seen.
I would not paint any part of an interior any shade of green before selling it. Green is a very individual color, I don't care what shade it is. I happen to loathe green. That's just me.
I used Ben Moore's Vale Mist twice. I suppose that is sort of similar. Funny thing--when I used it in darker rooms without much natural light, it looked like a misty gray blue. When I used it in a room with a lot of natural lighting light, it looked really green.
So, I'm changing my mind about Livable Green, its probably just fine, if you like it. But i'd still probably choose Vale Mist.
