If you do not like the colors in a finished home, paint, lights and faucets are easy to change after you move in. Counters, floors and cabinets cost more to change.
Can I choose my own colors and finishes on a new home?
On a home that is not built yet, usually yes: you pick at the builder's design center. On a home that is already built or nearly done, the builder has already picked them.
