suggestions for a warm, light yellow paint?

[pumpkin]

I'd like to paint the eat-in area of my kitchen a light but warm yellow. I know yellow can be tricky and I don't want it to be too much. There are two small windows in one of the 2 walls I'm thinking of painting. Sorry I don't have pictures right now.

I'm currently trying to narrow it down between SW lily, tea light, lemon meringue, or lemon chiffon. Anyone have experience with yellow? Any advice or thoughts?

I would get a sample of each and paint it on the wall or on a cheap canvas board and see what they look like in your space.

I have Pimso DUnes (Behr) in my kitchen right now and love it still after a year.

We have SW Cottage Cream in our DR & Kitchen and we love it. It's a warm pale color but when you paint it on a big area it looks much more yellow than it does on a little swatch. We tried lots of yellow samples from SW but when we painted big swatches of them on the wall they all looked like a more intense yellow than they did on the swatch.

Here's a pic:

The DR in the backgorund looks like a different color because of all the sunlight but it's not. Sorry it's not the best picture of the color because I didn't have the lights on but it is a warmer color than it appears in the kitchen.

I used Glidden Corn Silk in my kitchen and I love it.

Another one I used at my old house was SW vanillin.

I swear some of those colors look pink on my screen. When I googled I saw some rooms painted lemon chiffon and I thought they looked very nice. always worth doing a big test swatch to make sure.

I hope that picture works... I painted my first kitchen yellow. I wish I remember the color name, I loved it! My grandmothers dream as a young woman was to have a yellow kitchen so I always knew that would be the first color I ever painted a kitchen

Most of your choices seem more like white/beige with yellow undertones rather than a warm yellow, and tea light seems kind of pink/peachy to me.

I find yellows to be really difficult. I have it in my house, and in the wrong undertone it makes me really unhappy/agitated. Maybe because I have olive skin and don't look good in most yellows.lol

Personally, I like yellows and golds with a hint of orange, and I prefer a bit bolder, but that's just me. Too pale can look like a dirty white/beige and pastels can look very nursery-ish or just blah without the right undertone.

I would get a bunch of $3 samples from the hardware store and paint them on their own foam core boards (cheaper than canvas and easily cut-table with a steak knife). That way you can have LARGE samples that you can move around the room to see how they look in different light.

Ben Moore Windham Cream is really nice, but I don't know if I'd like it in a kitchen? We used it in my baby daughter's room.

I have Dunne Edwards (I live in CA) Thatched Roof in my kitchen and I love it...it has a griege-y undertone...on the swatch it almost looks beige, but on the wall it is really lovely!

We have SW Lantern Light in our kitchen and I really like it. I was drawn to Friendly Yellow at first but it didn't look as well in there.

We used Natural Wax by Duron/Sherwin Williams. We had seen it in some really expensive homes and loved it.

BM Philadelphia Cream. It's not super pastel, but it's not bright at all. It's soft and warm. We liked it so much we used it in more than one room.

I have Banana Cream by Behr in my kitchen. I liked it so much that when I had to redo the kitchen after storm damage the contractor color matched it to use SW paint. The picture was taken at night so it came out a bit pale.
