Home listings with neutral wall colors accented by dark pops of color can sell for up to $6,000 more, according to Zillow analysis.

The right paint colors can have a significant impact on the sale price of a home, according to Zillow’s 2018 Paint Color Analysis. Homes with black front doors, tuxedo kitchen cabinets and periwinkle blue bathrooms sell for as much as a $6,000 premium.

The analysis found that homes with black or charcoal gray front doors sell for $6,271 more than expected, the highest sales premium of all the room and color combinations analyzed.

Tuxedo kitchens, or kitchens where the upper and lower cabinets are painted in two different colors, sell for a $1,547 premium. White cabinets contrasted by a dark navy blue or black kitchen island were some of the most common tuxedo kitchens in top-performing listings.
