I had EK Buttercream in a previous house and liked it a lot. As you would expect from the name, it is a soft yellow. I used it in a large living-dining room. In a smaller room, it might look more intense. No experience with Luminaire.

Wow, very pretty space! That is very soft. You can see how alive that FS is in the shadows.

The swatch looked so beige yesterday but I'm afraid the Luminaire might be too intense.

OT. Did you ever worry about glass paned doors? I would love to do one but would think it would be so easy for someone to break into.

Windows in doors and sidelights are difficult to break. It would be easier for a burglar to break the lock than the window.

Interesting! Thanks. I prefer word of mouth experience to sales or advertising :)

Try a sample of Benjamin Moore Soleil. I used it on ceilings and it a soft, buttery yellow. Very nice.

snookums2 - Our back door is very similar - we have 5 rows of 3 panes. I was worried when builder put it in - our house butts up to the woods and it made me nervous since it is so dark back there. But husband said the same as graywings. I feel more comfortable the more I hear it. We have been here 7 years and no issues. Creamy yellow paint - love it - I don't have any suggestions, but I do love the color.

I have buttercream in my house as well, love it. It's very easy to live with, decorate around. I wasn't particularly impressed with it until I got it on 4 walls. Yellow definitely intensifies somehow. I'm not particularly good with paint color but I painted a whole house varying shades of yellow until I found one I liked. I have no experience with Luminaire (tried similar colors in other lines and found them a little too much for me--sort of like a too cheerful nursery.)

Another color you should try, I have a few rooms in Kennon's 'Wheat' and I like that very much too. This isn't my expertise, so I'm struggling here, but 'wheat' is a bit more yellow/golden. Buttercream has a pinky/red undertone to it--like a hint of it--it seems to vary more with light changes, maybe a little more complex somehow. I personally love both colors and think either are a great choice, but I'm yellow biased. Good luck!

Interesting on the doors. They sure look, shall we say, inviting!

Thanks for the color information, Darenka. I am very drawn to these soft yellow rooms for some reason so am going to give it a whirl! I expect Buttercream is a good one for me. Not overwhelmingly yellow and it does seem neutral. I know it is a warm yellow but don't see it as pink. I seem to like a little red in my colors. Samples are on their way!

I have never actually spent time in a yellow room, so am hoping I enjoy it as much as looking at the pictures!

I love yellow, I just have the hardest time picking the right yellow. I can't wait to see how it turns out for you!
