SO, if I wanted to do a YELLOW KITCHEN similar to the one you did, what color paint would I use for the lower cabs? : ) I have several BM colors taped (8x8/5x9) sheets to my cabinet and am getting lost in yellows. I really was thinking a buttercream color. My frontrunners have been America's Heartland 197 and Pale Moon OC-108. Then I wonder if they will be too pale or if I should be more daring? Our kitchen gets SE exposure. Other possibilities are Cornsilk 198 (one shade down from Americas H), Weston Flax (HC-5) same basic color as Pale Moon but 1/2 shade more saturated, and Vellum 207.
I'd like to accessorize with deeper and brighter yellows (like the flowers in your inspiration picture and a little bit of black maybe. HELP, please! : )
Some have used Hawthorne Yellow (HC-4) but it might be too much for me. I would love to attach a few pics of inspiration colors/fabrics but I don't see how. (I don't have a blog).
I've been a designer for longer than some of you have been alive. I have now started a new page of my career, closing my firm and designing furniture, as well as writing decorating books. Some of you may be familiar with my work over the years by seeing me in magazines. I tend to think that I'm funny, so please read my postings with a grain of salt thrown in for flavor. My spelling is atrocious, so I am refusing any responsibility for spell check right here and now. I hope anyone reading this will enjoy the pictures, info and humor.

This is one worth answering! I'm dying to know the answer!
