Paint Design Dilemma

Name of paint color

3 years ago

I’m looking for the name of yellow paint color used on walls in dec. issue Martha Stewart Living. I emailed them w/no response. Hoping a pro here has an inside connection. Thanks.

lmao. so are we to somehow obtain the issue and flip through the magazine to find this amazing yellow wall color ourselves? What if there is more than one yellow wall in the magazine? Will we have to find the names for both?

seminack. We aren't clairvoyant.

take your magazine to good paint store, show them the picture (since you're not showing us) and have them get one for you.

I agree, it looks like it might be BM Guilford Green. It seems to be a grayed green without the yellow hue. Here is a link that might be useful:

I originally painted all my trim dark charcoal gray (Benjamin Moore) called Racoon fur. LOL Since I hated the BM paint, and was forever touching it up, even though it was a good quality semi gloss and had great primer on it, I ended up sanding it all down, and reprimering with the same primer, and used the Rustoleum painters touch semi gloss in a color that just goes by the simple name of black. Its been on for a few years now, and I have only had to do one touch up on a window (due to my cat).

I agree with Mama Cita. Appears similar to SW White Duck which I have heard is a close match to BM Ballet White.

Thank you all all! Jilly~ good eyes 👀 my other half was wanting something less ” dramatic “… the last color of a teal gone very wrong is bringing the need for something a bit more soothing. We are putting a lighter pink vibe (lrv76- the pink still has some of warm with the orange undertones i I was hoping for.) I’ll share pick of the in progress and one when complete.

Often the magazine says who the designer is. You might get a response from them. But really, the paint will look totally different in your room depending on which way your windows face, the light bulbs you use, the reflection from the floor and other furniture, etc. Yellow can be tricky.
