Your favorite rich gold or dark mustard paint color?

I am painting the sitting room area and am envisioning a dark mustard or rich gold color. The floors are hardwood, the trim is SW antique white, and the built in book shelving is dark wood. Thus far,furnishings consist of a baby grand piano, but will be adding drapery, area rug, and upholstered seating.

This is the formal sitting room that is immediately to your right when you walk in the front door.

Suggestions for dark golds and mustards would be helpful! Preferrable SW.

Thank you. :-)

    Sorry, it's a BM color - Decatur Buff

    I also like BM Stuart Gold, but don;t have it in my home. Started to put it in my study and wish i had.

    Here's a link to the favorite yellows/gold thread in the gallery section, there's a few in there that I think would qualify.

    my favorite is Warm Muffin by Behr which is what we have in our livingroom. When I chose that color it looked like a brown color on the swatch, but once it went on the walls I was surprised to see how gold it is. We did our trim in a soft creamy white and they look lovely together.

    What you describe...Rich Gold or Dark Mustard, is exactly what my hubby wanted.

    It's exactly what he came home with when he went out on his own to Ho-De looking for paint chips or "samples".

    Came home with Two Gallons of Behr Medieval Gold Paint, in a Flat Finish.

    I would have preferred something a little softer, a little more toned down and I would have preferred a Soft Satin Finish.

    But since he rarely gives his opinion on my decorating choices and always lets me have free rein, I decided to live with it.

    It has really grown on me and I don't mind it at all!
    In fact, I'm finding any color accessory I put in the bedroom, coordinates very well with the Medieval Gold.

    Here are some pics taken while we were in the process of painting the room. Sorry I don't have updates and daughter has my camera today for a Vets' Memorial Ceremony.
