Recs for gold or mustard accent paint?

10 years ago

I just painted my kitchen Benjamin Moore's Light Pistachio. With our maple cabinets and dark counters in a north facing kitchen, it really helps lighten the space with a subtle pop of color.

I want to introduce a warm, rich accent color in our chairs and exterior door. I'm inspired by recent mint/mustard color trends like this: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/92183123596177730/

Any suggestions for great gold or mustard colors? I could actually go a little darker and richer than the colors listed for our chairs, and perhaps do a lighter shade for our door. I'll try to post a pick of the kitchen. Please note that it is still not "finished", but at least you'll get a read for the color.

I used SW Chip it! on the pinterest page and it suggested SW Yarrow. But looking at BM pistachio, it looks to be less minty than what they have on the pinterest page.

I'm not sure how to read the diff b/w the Light Pistachio and a mint, but it is a soft pale clean green color. I'll try to post pictures.

Thank you charlieinnj for the compliments on the rooms! The drapes are some I bought from a cyber decorating buddy on a decorating board..she bought them off Ebay & were the wrong shade of red for her rug so sold them to me for the same price she paid. I scrunched the heading & hung on short rods with rings & thank you so much for thinking they are custom!! I think they are the same drapes Tuesday Morning & Bed, Bath, & beyond have so they are store bought. Hope this helps.......Bonnie

Unfortunately it looks like my bedding will not be here on time for me to pick a color from it dammit I've taken a couple picks but bc the room is so small its hard to photograph (smaller than 8x10,now more like 8x8 i think bc we had to take some of the room up for bathtub). My next post will have a pic of view from hallway, So technically, if I do paint that wall on the left of the window in an accent color, it can't be seen unless you step in it. I'm narrowing it down to for Philadelphia Cream on the walls I think and Cloud White Trim. I'm really leaning towards painting the ceiling Philly cream too. I really don't like white ceilings. I'm headed down to take a look at Summer Lime and Castleton Mist in an hour. Does anyone have anything else to recommend? I have serious color fatigue. Has anyone painted their ceiling philadelphia cream?

I love the red/mustard combination also, and my kitchen is the red room, with the main living area the mustard color. The red seems to work well in the kitchen, as others have mentioned, because the cabinets are creamy white, the floors are light, and there is less wall space, so the color is not too overwhelming. If you're interested, here is a link to a remix slideshow of our home: Here is a link that might be useful: Our New Home

Celery, love the first visual with the large picture but with the drapes in the second picture. Mishu, a friend of mine has wood floors like you do and light gray sofa. She has a mustard yellow throw and pillows like Celery mocked up for you and a large picture similar colors. She brought in plum accents and it is so tasteful looking.

This is BM light pistachio

This BM sweet dreams is more like the mint that is in the pinterest page:

The gold in the pinterest page is what I would consider a very strong mustard color, vs. bright orange in the first pic above and the more tan color in the second.

So I guess you would need to decide which direction you wanted to go in, because to my eye, they are very different.

I used Benj. Moore Barley for an accent wall once. Not sure if that is a strong enough mustard.
