@Rita Bock,One of my group leaders gets a good price - around $1 each - but he buys them by the palette - around 1,000 on a palette.

We do use a single palette across all our rentals - all neutral colours, but grey based, not beige ... it has become a differentiator for us in our student market ;-)

Other tools/techniques to help with visualization: floorplan diagrama bound notebook or tablet for sketching ideasPinterest, IG, and similarSocial sites and forums - specifically where you show different pictures/sketches and ask for feedbackFind someone who is good at visualization and take them with you to visit a propertyPractice visualizing homes you're not interested in.For color palette decisions, it depends on what you're going for...but, any home design site/magazines can show you what's popular...or <sigh> just watch HGTVMake friends with a local realtor in an area you're buying into and ask them what buyers & tenants want and don't want.That should be enough to get you going.

If you want to go with an updated color palette, try a combination of a brown and greyish green.Of course, in 10 years you will be painting it back to yellow.

I probably would lean toward a warm-greyish-taupe palette for the body of the house (just don't do beige with dark brown trim, makes any house look very cheap), I'd have to see it with the improvements in place.

Looks great on the walls, I didn't like it at first when looking at the palette sample, but when its all on the walls it looks great!

Haven't changed my interior paint palette in six years. 

. • Comfortable yet contemporary decor blends custom Italian designs in a palette of taupe, cappuccino and azure. • The sleeping area features a King Size bed and set off from the main living area by a chic bamboo curtain. • Outlets/switches/thermostat at wheelchair reach, FA strobe/horn devices, Wheelchair accessible door peepholes • A pullout sleeper sofa in the living room ensures that this suite can comfortably accommodate up to four guests.

This is really happening." moment.I'm a professional interior designer; I spend my days creating floor plans, material palettes, and custom fixtures for retail prototype stores.
