Been thinking about a buttercream for my kitchen or office--any suggestions which of these colors would go best with dark wood molding?

Love this color. Always have.

thinking of this for my dining room. Too bad all colors read differently on *all* computer monitors. Still - shows us the shades we can select.

I agree, and did this a year ago. I had taupe walls in a room that didn't get much light and it felt like living in a cardboard box. Painted the walls Benjamin Moore Straw color and now it looks awesome. Love it. House magazines seem to have a lot of toned down walls, like gray, taupe, etc., but they aren't always suitable.

elaineb - just as an fyi, I chose the colors from paint decks that I have here in my office - they do appear differently on everyone''s monitors, but I based the selections on actual swatches.

I have buttercream walls in my home; my absolute favourite is Pittsburgh Paints' Sausalito - I am thrilled with the way it turned out! I used it in rooms that would otherwise appear greyed out without enough light, and it warms up the room no matter what the weather. These colours also work better than taupe when your flooring has a warmer tone to it, like ours.

Our entire house interior is painted this type of color -- most like #8 judging from what's on my monitor. I thought I'd paint when we moved in, but it has been great on our grey Seattle days to have the walls read "warm."

my bedroom is this color and it just doesn't work in our house. it's too cool at night with the lights on, even though it was one of the warmest samples we tried.

My living/dining/stairway/upper hallway walls are Benjamin Moore Buttermilk. The downstairs is warm and bright even though the room doesn't get a lot of light, and the sun filled upstairs is pale and lovely all day long.

I'd love to see a post on what colours to use for art and accessories. Like the photo I went with gold frames for my artwork, but we have a lot of wall space left to fill and I want to inject some cool tones just to balance it out.

It all just looks like urine to me! it's terrible. I can't even drink lemonade!

Love love love pale yellows. My favorite is Sherwin Williams "Peace Rose." It really is the color of sunlight.

My mom always ends up with rooms painted in this color. I couldn't live with it.

It is my style...

We used Benjamin Moore's Jicama, from the Aura line. I think it's held up rather well.

I currently have Benjamin Moore's Subtle from the Aura line. Close to #8 on my monitor. In daylight it reads a pale parchment color but at night it is more yellow than I would like. However, it has served the purposes of lightening up an apartment with limited natural light sources.

I love yellows. Especially at night. So cozy and warm. :)

Our whole house is painted in a color that looks like No. 8 on my computer monitor. I call it my manilla file folder walls. It's warm yet subtle, and it looks great with every other color except taupe.

Numbers rather than color names are more useful for tracking down a color in a paint line as names change from year to year.

I struggled to find a true pale butter color a few years ago when I did my dining room. It came out okay, but I never found exactly what I wanted. The colors of my imagination and the colors on the wall will never really be the same!

I made a beautiful butter cream by mixing my leftover Martha Stewart's Egg Yolk (Behr color matched) and Behr Ultra White in a 1:4 ratio. The Egg Yolk is a great color, it's just very strong!

I put a rich buttery yellow in my kitchen and it looks beautiful in natural light but I've discovered during our long, dark winters that it looks terrible under fluorescent light. Can anyone recommend a buttery yellow that looks buttery yellow (not highlighter green) with cfl lights?
