LOOKING for: Paula Deen's Buttery Fingers :)
Comments (1)It looks like this board is kind of slow. I already made the cookies. They were not hard as rocks, but not exactly soft. Of course it is a shortbread cookie, so they are not supposed to be soft and chewy....See MoreThe perfect, beautiful, buttery yellow
Comments (35)Theresa2: I love your statement, "It's yellow enough to say I'm yellow." That is just what I want---nothing in your face but warm and happy. Dawnp: I was wondering if someone would suggest RH Butter. It is really pretty in those pictures. Windham Cream is going to make the short list. The pictures are yummy. I think SW has sample quarts? Wish Ben Moore did. A quart at BM is somewhere around $30 I believe. I just cringe at the thought of buying a bunch of quarts for experimental purposes. And those tiny sample jars do not seem to hold enough. Anyway, I have collected all of the sample chips readily available to me. My goal tonight is to narrow it down to the top 5 and then think about putting some samples on the walls. My DH (bless his heart) does not really care what I do and he has a pretty good sense of color. He is quick to say "that looks tan to me" or "green to me" so MAYBE I will let him in on the elimination process. Of course, involving someone else means letting go of a little control which is difficult for me. What if he comes out with a strong opinion?? Then what will I do???

Comments (3)Seriously, I'm having this conversation with my DH right now. Every couple of days, I have a new "favorite" white. I think my problem is I'm afraid to commit. I never stress over the wall color. It's sooo easy to change. Cabinet color is harder to change. Here's a couple I've sampled: Benjamin Moore (BM) White Dove OC-17 - a bright, grey white. Light Reflective Value (LRV) 90 Cool undertone BM Cloud White OC-130 LRV 87.1 - not as bright as White Dove LRV 87.1 BM Feather Down OC-7 LRV 73.8 - a moodier gray off white, Cool undertone. Below is a link another gardenwebber shared with me. BuyAuraPaint. It has the LRV and some of the color undertone info. Sherwin Williams also has the LRV on the back of their cards too if you want to compare. Here's Pottery Barn's version of how to pick white: http://www.potterybarn.com/pages/getting-white-right.html BTW, my color of the week is Ancient Ivory ; ) Here is a link that might be useful: BM paint...See Morelooking for a warm soft yellow...
Comments (4)I also like SW Napery. I would describe it as a buttercream yellow. I wanted something yellow but soft for our laundry room so that is most likely the color I will be picking. Behr makes a Cottage Cream color also and I really like the look of that as well but it is much more pastel light where Napery is just the perfect yellow....See Morejay06
