It has been years since my parents sold my childhood home with a couple rooms painted blues. They just had a paint allowance in the final contract.
My house has paint in all but two rooms now and who knows what we will do when we move. We have a faux finished green kitchen, very dark green accent wall and one dark blue accent wall. The complimenting walls in those rooms are ochre or a nice deep beige. Most of the houses that have sold quickly in my neighborhood have rich colors painted in them and have sold quick. FWIW we are in a somewhat stable real estate market and a fairly coveted family area of the metro area we are in.
