If you want to sell your home for more money, these are the colors you should paint your walls

Artazum / Shutterstock.comWhen it comes time to sell your home, you might consider making some changes to make it more appealing to buyers.

According to a new analysis by Zillow, paint color should definitely be a change you consider.

After analyzing more than 32,000 listing photos of homes that have sold across the US, Zillow came up with a list of the colors that performed the best.

For example, homes that are painted "greige," a shade somewhere between light gray and beige, tended to sell for $3,496 more than similar homes in brown or tan.

"Color can be a powerful tool for attracting buyers to a home, especially in listing photos and videos," Svenja Gudell, Zillow's chief economist, said in a press release. "Painting walls in fresh, natural-looking colors, particularly in shades of blue and pale gray, not only make a home feel larger, but also are neutral enough to help future buyers envision themselves living in the space. Incorporating light blue in kitchens and bathrooms may pay off especially well as the color complements white countertops and cabinets, a growing trend in both rooms."

Here are Zillow's findings on what colors to choose (and which to avoid):

Kitchens:

• Blue (light blue to soft gray-blue): home sold for $1,809 more on average
• Yellow (straw yellow to marigold): home sold for $820 less on average

Bathrooms:

• Blue/purple (light powder blue to periwinkle): home sold for $5,440 more on average
• White/no color (off-white or eggshell white): home sold for $4,035 less on average
