Thank you! Yes, your entry is very similar to ours and looking at it helps. I like the multiple colors, looks very nice.

Yes, we will be changing out the door for one with a larger window(s) in it. I know that will help greatly.

I didn't word my questions well, trying too hard to get the background info in.

I have started a list of the names of creams/yellows already discussed and shown on this site.

I was looking for any other suggestions of names of the classic or more used colors in the range I want.

Everytime I pick out chips I find out they are the same ones I already have at home. Somehow I am not 'seeing' the color correctly at the store. I am not good at looking at chips and visualizing. Or just color blind with creams and yellows, I am missing the nuances.

I have bought samples and put them on the walls and still too yellow, even tho I think it's cream on the chip.

I hope this makes sense, trying not to be too dense.

Choosing colors can be painful. I chose Behr Warm Muffin for the wall that door is on. It looked like a nice tannish brown on the card and the room was a VERY ugly burgandy when we moved in. I was so deparate to get rid of the red, I forgot to test the Warm Muffin. My DH painted while I was at work, and I came home to a golden yellow living room! He really liked it, but the kitchen is a sunny yellow so it wasn't what I wanted (obviously) Ha! That's why 2 walls are the Raffia Creme. It has helped a lot to tone it some and I'm trying to work around it.

I used Behr Raffia Cream for our hallways as well as a couple of walls in the living room and I LOVE this color. As far as cremes go it's perfection. It has just a hint of yellow in it so it doesn't come off as stark or too bright.

Which yellows do you keep leaning towards? Can you give some names? Yellows and Cremes don't mock up very well in photos, but if you want to post a picture we could give a few colors a try.
