I have walls the color of the GW forum header. It's Sherwin Williams Sassy Green 6416. It's not a shy color. Here's a photo from a couple months ago, in progress, that gives a the best view I have of the overall effect on the walls.

FWIW -- We have yet to paint the adjacent rooms, but my designer (whom my husband refers to as Color Girl and expects to show up each time in a superhero cape) has chosen a gold for the living room and a red for the dining room to complement the green -- also from Sherwin Williams, Golden Fleece 6388 and Flower Pot 6334. The Golden Fleece is softer and browner than the yellow cabinet you pictured above.

joyjoyjoy, I admire your courage to splash color all over your kitchen & dining area! Have you considered a butterscotch, pumpkin or terra cotta tone with plum accents? I'd put a more muted tone behind the cabinetry to make the color on the cabinetry pop. Earth tones are easy to blend, especially when muted. All the appliances in our original kitchen were that gleaming sixty four gold you mentioned. Personally, I couldn't wait to chuck it all out the door! Personal preference only. The split pea green is very lovely, especially when highlighted by an orange tone or purple tone-again, muted. Sometimes just walking away from all the paint chips helps to clarify what your vision is for the new space.

Hi joyjoy, have you looked at greens with a tiny tiny bit of blue in them? Greens with a bit of blue look great with yellow (been using these colors for years) and to me are so much easier to mix other colors with. I only use my green/blue blue/greens as accents so don't have a color for you but LOVE your ideas.

I love that wall cabinet. And I love the Sassy Green Mnerg has. The drawers in the first photo look almost creamy to me ... like Farrow's cream

Thanks everyone!! I keep coming back to that green at the top of this screen - but i may have to try to work that in somehwere else in the house.. because I do think I might want something more muted on the walls this time around, and really let that yellow cabinet pop.

mnerg.. I'm on my way to SW in just a few mintutes. I looked up your colors and really like them on my monitor.. I'll check them out when I get there. Your kitchen is lovely.. my cabs will be white, but your cabinet color is similar to my woodwork and window trim, and that is very comforting!!

Cienza - I do love those colors too!! I really need a bigger house and lots of money so I can have all the colors of the rainbow!! I was just looking at a color combo on the SW website.. https://www.sherwin-williams.com/do_it_yourself/paint_colors/ideas/palettes/color_trends/enriched_earth/index.jsp. The problem is that everything on my first floor is now open, and those colors dont jive with my living room. My living room isnt finished, I have hand me down furniture etc, but it will still be years down the road before I can afford to have everything I want.. so I have to coordinate with what I have... yellows, browns, greens.

Jterrilyn - i do really like all greens, i opted out of blue undertones because i was afraid it wouldn't work with everything else I have to coordinate with. I will look at them when I'm at SW again just in case.

mtnrdredux - thats a great yellow.. I matches failry close to one i have here in my "narrowed down" pile of 37 yellows!! haha.

j3 --

This was in my inspiration pics file, but without any attribution. I cannot even tell if there are two greens -- sage and olive -- or the difference is just in the light. I do think that either green looks good with the slightly orangish yellow walls, and the cream is another option.

That said, if you really want to match Harvest Gold and Avocado of yore, I can probably find some pics, if not the appliances themselves. Cheers.

What about this combination?

Joy: My kitchen is green and yellow too! Though the shades we are going for are somewhat different. I like a bit of blue in my greens...and am not so fond of pea soup color. FWIW, cabinets in the main part of my kitchen are BM Webster green for the bases with golden oak uppers. In the scullery/butler's pantry section, they are BM cream yellow. Walls throughout are BM Rich Cream. Kitchen adjacent powder room is BM Crown Hill Yellow.

joy, I can't help with colors other than to remark that everything above looks great and rich, but just wanted to say that the dining room pic, with the joyjoykids amid the general upheaval, is adorable : ). The dining room color and wood trim are lovely, by the way.

The pea green is nice, but a little gray, especially with the yellow. Have you thought of using a soft, leaf green? These greens should look like ferns, with the sunlight shining through them...light and spring like :)

My kitchen is yellow and green as well--Sherwin Williams Ruskin Room Green and Hubbard Squash. :-)

Scroll down for pictures of both colors in the attached link.

Thanks everyone! I bought my wall colors after hours hanging out at the paint stores. I ended up with BM Camouflage for the lower portion of my dining . Its just a little darker than my cabinets will be. The green i settled on is.... SW Brassy. It's a little darker and a little more brown than mnerg's sassy but definitely more green than it looks ontheirwe website. I have a little time to decide. On the yellow... I m painting the walls tonight and tomorrow and can live with them for a few weeks before I need to give my cabinet maker my choices.

Wow monitors can vary so much!! Looking at the colors on my laptop now.. they're quite accurate. Everything was too yellow on my iPad. I just got done priming my first coat. I mixed together all of the leftover beiges, yellows, and greens in my basement and used that for primer. Its actually a very pretty color!! I'll have to save a little of it on some cardboard for future reference!!

Not sure if this green is too tame for you. We have lots of unstained red oak in our new kitchen and lobby area. I chose a red-brown for kitchen and apple green for hall areas. Had to set aside the mustard yellow paint of our plans--it was not distinctive enough with all that oak. Here's our new lobby, with newly finished side curtains of strong yellow for awning window. White steel exterior door is going to be painted to match woodwork (weather has not been warm enough yet this year).

Green is "Haven" by Sherwin Williams I think. We have lots of gold finishes in the room, including picture frames and curtain rings. We also have maroon reds, ivory white on tile, and the gold-yellow and deep green and maroon stripe of the drapes. Baseboard will be ivory and maroon checkerboard marble.

hi joyjoyjoy!
