The Color People Offer Tips to Boost A Home's Sale Price with Color

Attractive Exterior Paint Schemes can Increase A Home's Value and Hasten Its Sale

DENVER, CO - March 10, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Updating a home's exterior with a fresh and attractive palette
of color is one of the single best ways to boost a home's sales price and hasten its sale, according to James
Martin, president of the Denver-based architectural color consulting firm The Color People (www.colorpeople.com).

"First impressions are so important when selling a home and effective color use offers an extremely high-impact,
low-cost way to enhance a home's curb appeal," says Martin.

Spring is traditionally the time most would-be home sellers put their palaces on the market.  This busy selling
period pits large numbers of homeowners against each other in a race to sell their homes quickly and profitably.
Color, Martin says, is a key way to make a home stand out favorably from the competition and ensure that it sells
for its highest value.

But many homeowners find making the right color selections a daunting undertaking. Martin, whose firm works with
homeowners across the country, offers these tips to help make the process easier:

  * Dark colors make a house look smaller but more substantial.  Light colors make a house look larger but you
  don't want to make a house on a tight lot look larger -- it will just look squeezed.

  * Light colored windows look larger and make a house feel more open, airy and sunny.

  * Try to add a punch color to your body and trim colors. Use it on the door or shutters or both.  A punch color
  is like the tie on a man's suit: a focal point which brings the whole look together.
