Yellow Paint Colors for Every Room

Every yellow in these guides was measured from a public-domain painting, then matched to the closest commercial paints and given a light reflectance value (LRV) so you know how much light it will bounce. Start with the kitchen guide if you want a yellow for cabinets, walls or a breakfast nook, or with the bedroom guide if you want a yellow that feels calm at night and gentle in morning light. Choose the mustard guide when you want a deeper, golden yellow with more weight, and check each shade's LRV before you commit, since lower numbers read darker and need more light in the room.
