Help me pick a soft sunset color

lreeser

I am repainting my kitchen, dining room and living room and need help finding a warm soft color. I love the orange-yellows of a sunset. I have stained crown molding and trim all around. I have an open floor plan so all three rooms flow into each other. My cabinets are also stained the same color as the trim. Any ideas?

    Take a look at Key West Ivory or Golden Mist by Benjamin Moore.

    Maybe bm soft fern if you want to pick up on the greens in the artwork over the sofa...

    One of my favorite colors, too!

    I am saving those colors you suggested, Pal. Love them!

    I just had my hallway painted Hinoki (SW). It may be a little too light for what you're going for, but it looks good with my woodwork, which is similar to yours. August Moon is another possibility, but may have too much brown in it for you.

    Found this online; maybe not orange enough. Jonquil (SW):

    Sunsets come in so many colors...

    If you take a close up of the art over your sofa, I'll run it through color palette fx for you....

    Found this room, which looks like what you're looking for, but of course they don't give the name of the paint color! Maybe you can email and ask?

    BM Straw is definitely a soft sunset color in our DR. It's a yellow with slight orange undertones. The color reads very differently in different rooms I've seen it in, but in our room I'd describe it as sunset-y.

    Look at Ellen Kennon's Honeysuckle. it is a true orange yellow. The website really doesn't do a good job at all of conveying how beautiful the color is. I loved it but it was to bright for my kitchen. It looks very much like the third sample on the left on the last design seed that Annie posted.

    Anele, Hinoki is one of my very favorites. It look superb in your room.

    Agree BM straw is a good one to look at.

    I've been busy, but I'm not happy with my paint. I used valspar's spun honey and it just feels too intense most of the time. I need help! Does it look too intense or is it just me? Would it be better with dark colored curtains? If I change it, I would prefer to find valspar color. Any suggestions? If I keep it, what color could I paint the livingroom to coordinate? This is driving me crazy! I will try to post multiple photos.

    Another thought I had was to leave the nook as it is and paint the kitchen and livingroom a different color. Would that work? Again, what color, what color? Oh, my world for the right color!

    How about Valspar Canyon Haze. It is very soft on the wall in real life
