Color for the kitchen? Sunroom off the dining/kitchen is a happy yellow. Living room off the dining/kitchen?

Question

is not decided yet. I like blues but don't really think that's a dining/kitchen color... Any ideas? I'm not afraid of color!

P.S. the china in the cabinet is yellow with all kinds of colors(Wedgewood India)

Answer 1

If there is a connecting wall that goes straight through both rooms then a nice touch would be to paint it all the same color.

Answer 2

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think an orange like "yam" (# 6643) would look great with the yellow.

Answer 3

Colour should flow from one room to t'other so yellow to blue is too strong.

so mix  blue and yellow to get a greeny blue and you will find that it is soft to the eye

Answer 4

try the ralphlaurenpaint.com room tester- i'm not sure if this will show up but here is a link i thought these colors looked nice- drag the color you choose over to the wall and see how it looks. pick the kitchen room- then go down and select- ISLAND BRIGHTS and you will see nice yellows- put yellow on one wall and then play with the other colors until you decide what works - I thought the Kayak Yellow (simialr to your yellow i think) and the Spinnaker Blue or the Agean Blue or the Blue Reef colors looked nice with yellow- this is how i decided what to paint my house- and the ralph lauren paint is true to it's color and quality standard.
