I would carry the Buttered Yam into the kitchen. On the Benjamin Moore site they are using it with gray. Look at how they used it in the bedroom, exterior and bathroom with the gray and black.

Buttered Yam Paint Sample by Benjamin Moore (AF-230) Medium Orange | Peel & Stick Paint Sample

I would leave the columns white like the trim. What fun color.

there isn't enough wall area in the kitchen to hold a different color - typical for kitchens because of cabinets and doors e.g. pantry. Same with the columns they aren't columns as much as they are part of the millwork hierarchy which means they should be the same color as trim, doors, etc.

Jan Moyer your response was not helpful. The reason the photos for the living room is DARK is because i had painters prepping the walls yesterday and closing up holes in order to prlme. They disconnected the light switch and left me with no lights. The rug is there for them to step on when the come this morning which is why its pushed to the side Now that ive explained all that you can keep the sarcasm.

^^The pictures were not really helpful, sorry for truth. We only know what we see, and what you TELL .You ask for color advice in a room with no light? There is no color without light!

The one color advice remains same, sorry: )

That is a bold color. Are the bolder/darker mid 1990s colors making a comeback? I had red in a kitchen back in 2004.

Maybe because I already used bolder/darker colors in the past, I now prefer to do neutral/lighter walls and bring in plenty of color with upholstery, art, rugs, window treatments, etc.

wellllllll ? Funny you should ask!

Consider your dark floors & dining set, low ceilings, beam, lots of furniture and because you should really continue into the kitchen (otherwise the entire space will feel even smaller), plus the backsplash’s color, black counter and door.

Maybe reconsider the outcome and I really think you may regret. You mention you love color so can understand why you don’t want white, but why that color? A rich neutral would still add warmth (test many) and if you want an intense color, add with art, accessories and a kitchen mat.

If using MB in hall, similar shades to the above will also transition much better.

While you may not like the advice from @JAN MOYER (or maybe you aren't used to her direct manner of providing advice?), she is correct. In an open concept plan, typically one paint color is used throughout the kitchen/dining/living room open area. Different colors are used in bedrooms/bathrooms.

The issue created when you own an open concept home is: how do you know where to stop the BM Buttered Yam?

You haven't provided the photos we'd need in order to see if there are natural architectural breaks which would allow you to use BM Buttered Yam in your "living room" area. Actually, a floor plan would also be helpful in order for you to mark exactly where you want to use the new paint color.

While I still feel like only one paint color should be used, you could use the BM Buttered Yam in the "living room" area if you have natural architectural breaks (trim/moulding or architectural elements) to stop the color in order to avoid random transitions in the middle of a continuous wall.

Some people use inside corners to change colors - however, unless the paint colors used are very close/similar to each other, having two different colors on each side of an inside corner tends to be jarring.

In the photo below, the shelves were added in order to paint the fireplace wall a dark blue. If the dark blue and gray simply met at a plain inside corner, the color change would be quite harsh. The way the books overlap the inside corner oioi// 9oo999omake the transition look better.

The designer used a tall plant (tree?) in the corner to disguise the paint color change in the corner of the room.

If you decide to use BM Buttered Yam, you should keep the surrounding living and kitchen walls in a crisp, complementary neutral (like White Dove or Swiss Coffee) to let the dining room pop intentionally.

Also, because Buttered Yam is a deep, warm hue, make sure it flows well with existing finishes in the open space (such as warm woods or adjacent flooring).

You also should tie the rest of the open space to the dining room by echoing the orange-brown color in living room throw pillows, rugs, or artwork.

i’d go with low key walls and then add incredible color with rugs and art - i don’t think the rooms lend themselves to a bold color (there are lots of jigs and jags with the walls as well as small walls, drywalled beams, walls with lots of windows so there will be slivers of bold paint between etc)

You have chosen an Affinity color. The colors were compiled to complement one another, no matter what colors are chosen. Get the fan; choose colors you like; order Samplize samples and put them on the wall and see how you like them.

AF 545 Solitude is one I like with it. It would work with the black counters.

Monroe Bisque is not in the Affinity palate and the undertone is way too yellow.

Try AF 680 Wish instead.

What colors do you love with the buttered yam color?

I am thinking kind of a fall palette - Maybe Alligator Green or Olive Branch for the posts and the walls in the kitchen = a lighter November rain on the cabinets with gold hardware. I would love to see some burgundy with the Yam, but your floors may be too yellow to pull of something like New London Burgundy.

Try to find some art with the buttered Yam color and see how the artist mixes the greens and golds and burgundies and oranges together. Photos of fall leaves will work as well. Mother nature is the best color expert in the world.

I always loved this room and how the green carpet and the deep orange walls completmented each other. The sofa in the next room was patterned with a fall palette material - golds, greens, burgundies. . .

In the kitchen do the same color or do a couple of shades lighter.

I love color too but I prefer walls to be one color throughout , then add all my stuff and see if I might need an accent wall sort of like this pic where the orange was a must
