The color yellow
We just painted the living room a buttery yellow. It's been lavender for the past 5.5 years. The lavender was kind of calming and rich. The yellow is so bright. Anyone else with a yellow living room and what accent colors do you have?

Re: The color yellow
It's ok but I'm not in love with it. I think I need curtain and an art piece over the couch. The couch is a dark brown, front door is a dark cherry, book shelf is a dark cherry, and we have an old hope chest in here that is a dark wood. The mirror is oiled bronze as is the clock. We need to redo the flooring, which we were looking towards a bamboo but I think a dark wood would look a lot better with this color. The problem is that is is easier to change the paint vs. the flooring.I am going to live with it for a little while before I give Shane the bad news. He's gonna not be so happy.
At least it isn't smile face yellow but it may be a bit too much.
Our old place was Freshaire Wave of Grain which I really liked. Its just a warm tan color and its No VOC.
We had grey/lavendar in our bedroom, red in the living room and various colors but mostly green in C's room. Really, it goes with anything.
Our living areas and hallway are Valspar's Vanilla Bean. We did test patches in qbout 4 shaeds before picking this color. 5 years later and I still love it. The living room has an oragne accent wall, tan sofa, white rug and blue and orange artwork. The dining room has a robin's egg blue accent wall and dark wood furniture.
Yellow is the hardest color I've decorated with. I saw the blue I have in my bedroom in Domino and that was it.
I liked the lavender but not for the living room. We put up about 8 different test yellows from three different places in the last month. We had friends and my mom in here and it was the one the majority picked.
Our whole house has color. I hate white walls just from living in apartments for so long. We have way too many greens and blues, though, or I would have done it in green. The house we painted green (sage), the playroom is green (grassy color), our bedroom is green (Olive). The boys room and the bathroom are blue. The kitchen is a gray color. The hallway is a wheat color. We have a very tiny house too so it all has to mesh well together.
If I can get my phone to post a pic I will.
