We have a buttery yellow on almost every wall (when I like something I stick with it) and it's amazing because in some rooms it looks very sunshiney yellow and in others it looks off-white. Mostly I wanted to comment to say that I love your dining room table! How neat is that! Good luck with the painting! I love yellow, in every room.

Good luck with the painting!

I love the color we chose for upstairs, but the basement yellow is putrid. Perhaps the upstairs is more refined because Ralph Lauren sold us on the name: Edwardian Gold.

We did our family room in it and it's a really nice yellow. Sometimes it looks almost beige, sometimes it's more of a yellow. It's great in the room. I always go for yellows which almost look like a warm beige on the card. Otherwise I end up living inside a bee hive. Or what I think it would be like. I have to repaint my living room, I hate the color. But repainting the living room means repainting the kitchen and dining room (all one room for all intents and purposes). This makes me want to die.

The fear of those colors is why, when asked to pick out a yellow for the guest room, I chose a shade so subtle that the exMrStapler said "Hm...not so much yellow as it makes it look like a smoker used to live here."
