Comments (5)Photoshop makes everything suspect! If this was really such a bright yellow, you'd think it would be available through the usual channels. I didn't clearly indicate my doubt in the first message, other than hmmmmmm.....! I passed. Kristi...See Morewarm yellow daylilies
Comments (23)If I remember correctly All In Ruffles does fade a bit, but it's very pretty when it first starts out and just the color/form I want - but in a non-fader. America's Most Wanted I thought at first filled the bill, but it faded to almost white by late afternoon. So......the search continues. I have ordered an older Carr daylily called Stroke of Brillance that looks to be colorfast, but until I try it myself I won't know. Interestingly enough, even in roses it's hard to find a warm medium yellow that doesn't fade. Who knew the same problem would occur in yellow daylilies.....Thanks Swontgirl for the comments and another nice yellow to investigate........Maryl...See Morenew: Color of the month for May - Yellow!
Comments (59)Becky, I received my seeds yesterday though I just discovered them today. I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to check the mail box! Thank you so much for such a great selection of seeds. You picked out quite a few seeds out for me that I had wanted. I'm so happy! Thank you again for hosting the Yellow seed swap. You did a fantastic job! Penny...See MoreHelp me find a yellow paint
Comments (15)I have BM Straw (1 over from BM Desert Tan which people have said is BM's closest color to SW Blonde) in my kids playroom (temp. DS1 bedroom). Blonde went too green for me. Yellow is a tricky color & on Color Splash they mentioned how yellow goes on stronger than what is pictured on the chip. I will attest to that! Straw is a soft (def. yellow) color that isn't glaringly yellow. For me it doesn't show any other undertones. If I added brown to the room it would probably remind me of buttered toast. The trim is 1 up - Filtered Sunlight & the bookcases the lightest on the strip - Vanilla Ice Cream. No pic's yet & I'm too ashamed of the condition to take a pic until DS is in his perm. rm. I'm considering painting my kitchen w/ the same color's. I liked it so much I went one shade down & used York Harbor Yellow in my DR. Bright but still soft despite how it looks in this pic: BM York Harbor Yellow...See Moremadtown_2006_gw
12 years agoI used Behr Havana Cream in my son's room. I would describe it as "lemon-y" rather than soft and buttery. (Maybe I'm hungry?) The room is south/west facing and gets tons of sun. I'll post s few different pics so you can get an idea... There's also a couple more recent pics in the post called "Is this mirror too high?" but the lighting is not the best for viewing the paint color.
(Pics are taken w/ natural light, no flash.)

12 years agoBTW - thank you for all the help again. Verbalizing this with others who are always thinking of color helps. I showed DH this photo:
and he said that from his perspective it looks exactly like the current color in the playroom:

See what I'm up against? LOL
madtown - your son's room is lovely. That is actually very similar to the color that is in my son's room right now. I do like it but it's a bit hard to keep finger-print free and clean. :)
EG3d - Citron paints are gorgeous! I've admired them from afar but they're just not in my budget.
Now...to figure out this stripe thing. Yikes!
