Team ColorsThe Walk-Through, the New York Times Real Estate Blog reports in a post by Joyce Cohen titled, “Paint Your House to Match the Mets” that Home Depot is marketing new interior and exterior paint colors representing over 170 sports teams. According to the post, “A Home Depot survey points to the potential of this new paint offering. About 13 percent of adult sports fans, or 25 million people, are “strongly” or “somewhat” inclined to paint a room in their team colors.”

Chicago teams represented include the Bears, Bulls, Fire, Sox and Cubs. To see all the teams represented and get painting tips visit MostColorfulFan.Com.

How well a home painted with Cubs’ colors will sell is anyone’s guess! :)

Now, Fran – REALLY – would you want to be working with buyers who aren’t Cubs fans? (smile). Great article- I’m sending it to my pal who is a painting contractor to give her new ideas for business building!
