How do change wall color in your owned home? Bought a house but want to change the wall color....how do I change it to the color I want?

If it's a Linden Home, the home control device on the wall is the only way to alter the home's decor.

If you bought the home from another resident, how you modify it depends on the home's permissions.  If it is No Modify, you can't change it at all.  However, you can create a thin, flat prim, put it up next to the wall, and texture it any way you want.  Think of it as "wallpaper".

If the house is Modify, you may be able to change the texture and color on the walls.  Be careful..use the "Select Texture" button in the build menu and be sure you have the right face selected.  Also be SURE you want to replace the texture, because the operation can't be undone.  You CAN undo a simple color change (tinting the wall with the Color chip instead of replacing its Texture).

In addition to Lindal's good advice, be sure that you know which walls will be affected by any change you make.  Good builders save on prims by having one prim serve as the wall in two or more adjacent rooms, for example.  If you retexture the wall in one room, therefore, it will also change the wall in each of the other rooms.  If you bought a house with copy perms, of course, you have nothing to worry about at all.  If you mess up and lose a texture or color your house purple, you can always delete it and rez a new copy.  :smileyhappy:
