Can anyone recommend a pale SW yellow?

I'm looking for a good SW yellow to do a nursery if anyone has any ideas.  I've been looking online, but I can't seem to find a nice nursery shade.  I got a sample of SW Friendly Yellow and SW Optimistic Yellow and I think they both might be too dark for a nursery.  Any suggestions please??  Thanks!

Re: Can anyone recommend a pale SW yellow?

  • I love SW Cottage Cream!  It's in our DR and Kitchen.  It's a very soft subtle yellow that isn't in your face but in the sunlight it really glows.  IMO it's hard to get a yellow that isn't too bold but still has color.  When we were testing out sample colors I found that the colors looked much more yellow on the wall than they did on the small paint chip.  What looked yellow on a paint chip was much bolder on the wall.  Cottage Cream looks like a cream color with a yellow undertone on the paint chip but is definitely yellow on the wall. 

    Here's the best picture I have showing the difference between the sunny and non-sunny colors (that's our DR in the back):

  • Sorry, it's not SW, but we have BM Weston Flax and really like it, so you could aim for a color-match or something similar to that.

  • Ditto on the pp who said that a cream with yellow undertones will be your best option to get a pale yellow. We had SW Ivoire in our dining room for a while and, while I expected pale yellow since it is Ivory, holy moly, it was pretty darn yellow (though a pale yellow). Not my favorite...

  • We had friendly yellow in our kitchen and it's really pretty.  There is one shade above it on the strip - moon something.  I like the other suggestions you got too.

    I just painted my kitchen SW color matched to BM Weaston Flax and I love it!  I had the friendly yellow and the optimistic yellow samples, and I  agree-- they were just too... yellow.

  • agree with SW Ivoire  6127.  I have that in my kitchen.  Every time I see it I think I love that color. 
  • Thanks ladies!
