My first lesson of college that year? Consult a pro when selecting complicated paint colors. To avoid future regrets, we asked some paint experts for their most popular, versatile yellow paint picks. Rest assured, these are shades of yellow you’ll want to live with for years to come. What makes this shade of yellow unique? It contains just the barest hint of green. “Slightly sunny, yet perfectly subdued, Good as Gold is a mellow mustard hue that’s absolutely perfect.” Gibbons recommends using this color in a statement-making dining room or a warm and inviting sunroom. Try brushing this sunny hue on a small accent wall, or let it brighten up your “cloffice.” “Its brightness is perfect for people looking to elevate the mood of their spaces (from bathrooms and kitchens to home offices and bedrooms), something that’s become a priority with so many people spending more time inside.” The pro’s recommendation: Use this vibrant hue in small, carefully selected doses rather than for an entire room. Grab some painter’s tape and let this creative work-from-home office serve as inspiration.
