SW yellow to use in bathroom with AOT of sunlight

9 years ago

I wanted to go with an old world type yellow gold in the bathroom because of the bright afternoon sunlight it has coming through a large picture window with transoms. Thought about SW Ivoire or SW blonde but don't know how that translates in such a brightly lit room. Anyone?

SW sells sample cans for about $5. If I were in the same dilemma, I would buy a sample of each and some foam core board. Paint the board and see how each color looks at different times of day.

I would also get samples. I tried a lovely light blue in our bedroom that gets eastern exposure, and it totally washed it out.
