  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: So if you're gonna do door color and you're thinking, hey, I'm I might be able to get something out of this, they said dark gray is the moneymaker.

  SPEAKER_01: It's too um country bumpkin for me.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: They say if you got a solid white house, light blue green is your moneymaker, it uh delivered the biggest color payoff of the whole study that Zillow did, potentially bringing in five thousand dollars more.

  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: Geez, yellow.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: All right, this one's hit and miss, warm and welcoming, yellow shines uh on lighter homes, buyers uh well, they respond to this color with an average of about a$1,900 extra.
