Why not? If you like black wall, go ahead. Sure it would make it harder to
sell as is, but for $20 and a couple of hours work, it will have a fresh
paint job come sales time. Meantime, you got years of joy from the funereal
setting in your own home.

House shopping, I've learned to look past the "obvious".

Motorcycle oil stains in the carpeted living room, motor oil rings
around the bath tub. Walls painted like a disco and such.

If the house in a good location has good bones, something's can be
looked past.
