Is this paint color too yellow?

Using in a mid century modern home. Big windows, lots of sun. I like the warmth of this color but worried it's too yellow. What do you think?

It is definitely yellow. Might look different though in the space/lighting?

I love it

What effect are you going for? I like yellow and used a proper yellow in my house. This isn't close. If you're going for cream, this might be a little yellow.

It goes from sort of a pink tinged cream to almost a mustard yellow depending on the angle of my screen. I would definitely test it out in various areas of your house before you commit. I do think it's a pretty color.

Actually let me restate that - it goes from a pinkish tinged cream to more of an orangey yellow (not mustard).

It's very yellow

I think it could look like a very light buttery yellow.

I like it. It has a peach tone on my screen.

Looks more creamy than yellow on my screen.
Buy small amount and test paint in diff areas in home.

Check out Benjamin Moore's Hawthorn Yellow also.

Huh I was expecting a really bright yellow. Are you thinking all the walls or just an accent wall? If accent go brighter, if all keep this and you'll be able to find some nice gray's and navy's to accent the wall.

Hard to say. You either need to try it on your walls, or paint a large piece of poster board if you want to see it in different rooms. Some yellows that look pretty tame on a chip wind up screaming at you when they go up on the wall.

Or windham cream which is on the same color strip

Thank you for all the feedback! We were thinking of using it for the family room, then a lighter shade for the open plan kitchen. Will test on walls! Glad nobody found it hideous so far.
