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.
