Room Colors, Leave As Is Or Go White

I bought a new house and I'm going to rent out my old house.

When we lived in our old house we painted the rooms to our liking.  Our bedroom has a light gray color with a dark gray accent wall, one of the bedrooms is light blue, another is an avacado green, and our kitchen is a neutral purple with a yellow accent wall.

I probably would paint the lime green room either way, but I'm torn on whwther or not to leave the light blue amd accent walls.  On one hand I could see potential tenants being attracted to it because they dont have the same boring white walls but on the other hand I could see them hating colors they don't like.

I want to get it rented asap, but also save time and money where possible.

Would you just paint everything white, or put it on the market for a few weeks and see if anyone bites?

List it for a week and see what interest you get. If no interest then paint it. I wouldn't spend the time and money if I didn't have to. Some people appreciate color.
