I do rather neutral walls, bedding with yellow in it, and yellow accent, furniture, pieces, and rugs.
Like pictures on the wall with yellow in them, the smiley rug posted above, Aiello, ottoman, or yellow desk chair. My biggest concern, is that kids’ preferences change. My daughter went from wanting hot pink & zebra print, to navy/Aqua, and now that she’s 15 her favorite color is light pink. |

i had a house with a yellow kids room. sold on the first showing.
i also had a house with a yellow craft room. did not deter buyers, either. if people don't like it, they can paint the room. or you can paint the room before you sell. that one is VERY bright though. |

| I had a soft, bright, sunny yellow bedroom in our old house and loved it! Blonde wood, banana leaf throw pillows, clean white curtains and a gigantic stuffed giraffe. Soft Moroccan rug layered over jute. Much creamier and lighter than this yellow thought. Think your bold yellow color has to be exactly right with your lighting and which directions your windows face, etc so I’d get several samples. It can veer into uncomfortable (ie not good) retro territory very quickly. |

I’d go with white, which is also bright and cheerful, but allows more flexibility. Put up yellow pictures and use yellow accents.
Paint colors can change over time. I’d be afraid that yellow, particularly, could end up being less appealing in the long run. |

| yellow is good; this particular shade is not my cup of tea necessarily. if you like it, go for it. repainting is not that hard. |

| We used BM Yellow Raincoat in my DD's room and it's bright but not acidic. I am a big fan of yellow though. |

| I think you'll get tired of something so bright quickly. Try Benjamin Moore Pale Moon instead. It's a nice sunny yellow, but not overpowering. |

| Won’t you have to paint anyway when you sell? That said, this particular shade is too intense for an entire room. Doesn’t mean you can’t consider other yellows. |

One of our kids picked a similar yellow as you described for their bedroom. Not my style, but it is a pretty shade. Matches their personality. |

That is a fictional short story, I immediately recognized it in the link. |

| That seems anxiety inducing. I prefer pops of colors in furniture and accessories and more muted wall colors. How about yellow bed frames? |
