 Yellow paint colors lift spirits while providing warmth and comfort

 

Yellow-painted walls add energy and optimism to any room. Just remember that saturated yellows can be strong, one of the reasons brighter yellows are typically used for accent colors, while muted and light yellow paints work better for an entire room.

A Sunny Yellow Kitchen

Pictured above yellow is often associated with health and well-being, so it’s no surprise that it’s a popular color for kitchens. Here, it beautifully complements cool grays and warms up natural wood tones.

In any room, a yellow accent wall in an otherwise white or neutral room adds instant vitality. We love bright yellow paint colors like Banana Yellow and Yellow Highlighter for the cheerfulness and charm they effortlessly exude.  Who wouldn't want to wake up to this?

BOLD IN GOLD

Bold yet inviting, golden, mustard yellow paints add zing to any room. Neutrals that balance beautifully with these deep yellows include greys and beige.

If you are looking for a golden metallic—for a finely painted gold leaf accent on a bureau or other piece of furniture or trim—explore Studio Finishes® Metallic Glaze paint, all from Benjamin Moore.

The Subtle Effect of the Pale Yellow Wall

While bolder yellows are great for accent colors, we recommend more muted, toned-down yellows when painting more than one wall in a room. Soft yellows are perfect as seen in this cozy living room. Subtle but effective.  

You’ll also find a range of pale yellows in the Benjamin Moore Affinity color collection—a curated palette of 144 colors that mix and match with one another seamlessly—making it easier than ever to choose from.

Yellow Exteriors: A Natural Hue

A front door painted yellow gives the world a clue about the upbeat personality of a home’s owner, as seen on this front door.

Homeowners love yellow on their home exterior not only for its sunny style but for its ability to make a more modest home appear slightly more expansive. Yellow is also a great backdrop for all types of landscaping, from traditional potted plants to flowering cacti as seen on this gorgeous home exterior. Which is your favorite shade of YELLOW?
