need a yellow paint suggestion

We're not pregnant yet, but we have a room that we want to paint that we know will be a nursery. We're looking for a good, warm, rich, creamy yellow that isn't too bright. The room is small - 9x9 - so I want it to be a cozy color that won't make the room feel small.

We've tried Whisper Yellow (Behr) and Cream Yellow (B.Moore), but both are too cool and bright.

Any suggestions?

Re: need a yellow paint suggestion

  • Whatever you do, go like a shade lighter than you think you want. We painted our kitchen yellow, and in a small swatch it looked good, but in the whole room it was so overwhelming!

  • I just painted a small bathroom Creme by Sherwin Williams. ?Its a warm yellowish cream color, and it really brightened the bathroom up. ?I love it! ?It looks pretty cream on the card, but its?slightly?more yellow up on the walls. It?definitely?won't be too bright. ?I bought a sample can to make sure and was back at the store that afternoon to pick a gallon.?

  • We used Pittsburgh Paints Mojave Sunrise.  It's definitely a warmer yellow but not super bright...more buttery.

  • We used "Sawdust" from ... I can't remember! I might have been Pittsburg Paints. We got it at Menards.

     Its light without being overwhelming - our room is small too - about 10' x 11'

  • Here is a link to our nursery.  If you like to color, PM me and I will find the paint sample.  We used Valspar paint which I was not very fond of.  It does not go on easily, but we loved the color.  I would recommend getting the Valspar paint sample and have it made up in Behr which goes on much more evenly.

  • I love and am thinking about using Moonlight by Benjamin Moore for our nursery.  Its a Pottery Barn Kids color so if you go on their website you can see it in a room.
