Paint regret is definitely a thing, and you may feel that regret even more strongly in close quarters. One regret you might have? Picking a paint color that makes the room feel smaller, not bigger than it is.

In 1913, German immigrant Richard Hellmann opened a Manhattan deli on Columbus Avenue, serving a classic homemade mayo so popular that customers began buying it by the jar. Originally producing two versions, the literal blue ribbon signified the distinction. Within a few years, demand outgrew the counter. Production moved from the deli to a small factory, and the Hellmann's Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise went into clear glass jars that showed exactly what you were buying.
Nearly one-third of sellers paint their places before listing them. So, what color should you pick for your rooms for the most return on investment (ROI)?
