Your home's interior paint colors could boost its sale price by this much, Zillow says

Home sellers hoping to get the highest price for their listing should pay particular attention to room paint colors, among other aesthetic considerations that can drum up interest among buyers.

Why? Color selection can boost a home's sale price by almost $2,600, according to a new report from real estate marketplace Zillow. The hottest kitchen color right now is olive green, according to the survey of thousands of homebuyers. Various shades of muted green in a home's kitchen — its hearth — can generate more buyer interest, Zillow found. 

House hunters are even willing to pay up to about $1,600 more for a kitchen with cabinets in the elegant green tone, according to Zillow's analysis.
