What are you the best interior paints, and do you think that brands like Farrow & Ball are worth the price?

Q. As an artist, I've learned that sometimes expensive paints are worth the money because of the exceptional quality, and others are a rip off. I'm guessing the same is true with interior paints for your house. My mom is obsessed with Farrow & Ball, but to me it's absurd to pay more than $90 a gallon for paint. They have very limited color options, too.

A. Farrow and ball only do paints that are period colours (georgian, victorian etc..), and you can choose from lots of different finishes. But personally, i don't think that it makes a blind bit of difference! I would much rather spend my money on some fabulous feature wallpaper, or a nice sofa than on paint, which nobody is going to pay the slightest bit of attention to. Nobody compliments your paint, no matter how expensive it is! I think that if you are trying to create a victorian house, with every detail spot on and correct, then maybe, just maybe, its worth it. Otherwise i wouldn't bother!

What is the best interior paint for resale?

Q. Okay. I am going crazy trying to find the right interior paint color for resale. I eventually want to sell my condo and I want the best color. Has anybody used Restoration Hardware's Latte and do you like it? Please give me your favorite neutral paint color or maybe a link to a website that has great suggestions. Brands and specific colors please. Not just "beige". LOL. Thank you!

A. I think you have the right idea. Any soothing neutral earth tone is going to please the eyes well. As long as you have coordinating furniture and accents done correctly. Staging is just as important as color when you sell. We can all give you a color that will work, but so will the latte.
