The Best Paint Colors for Rental Properties (Neutral Guide)
Paint is the cheapest way to modernize a unit.
The "Greige" Revolution
"Greige" (Gray + Beige) is the new standard. It works with both cool and warm furniture tones.
- Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray: The #1 selling paint. It's foolproof.
- Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter: A slightly warmer option.
Warm Whites
Stark white feels like a hospital. Warm whites feel cozy.
- Sherwin Williams Alabaster: Creamy but not yellow.
- Benjamin Moore White Dove: Soft and clean.
Sheen Matters
- Walls: Eggshell or Satin (wipeable). Never use Flat (impossible to clean).
- Trim/Doors: Semi-Gloss (durable and highlights the trim).
Conclusion
Pick one color for all your properties. It makes touch-ups easy because you always have the right can in the truck.
