Using mustard yellow in your home

Mustard Yellow works when the room has enough contrast to keep it from feeling murky. Use it on cabinetry, a dining room, a study wall, or an exterior door with cream trim, walnut, black, denim, or olive. North light can make it greener and duller. South light brings out the gold. Watch oak floors. Yellow oak beside mustard can flatten the whole palette.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mustard Yellow warm or cool?

Mustard Yellow is warm, but many versions have an olive cast. That greenish note is why it feels earthier than gold.

Best Mustard Yellow paint colors?

Try Glidden Autumn Festival (LRV 54), Sherwin-Williams Citronella (LRV 41), or Valspar Apple Jade (LRV 30).

Does Mustard Yellow work in north facing rooms?

It can, but choose carefully. Cool daylight can bring out the olive undertone and make the color feel heavier.
