How can you update a color palette that’s been working so well? Easy! When a client says, “can you substitute the yellow for a different color? I’m not a fan of yellow.” Well, I did just that and the palette is even better! Not many people are a fan of yellow so now, we have another option and I love this one even better actually. Here is the original The Best Benjamin Moore Coastal Color Palette for Your Home, If you’d like this palette or the original, I did the hard work for you and already designed a palette that works. The palettes are $100 each. Email me for details at DecoratingbyDonna@mac.com

I love yellow, but this color scheme is really beautiful!
Yellow was and is a hard sell. I always had to adjust that color for clients – replacing it is perfect!
That’s why we’re painting away all the yellow out of our house when we put it on the market next year. We aren’t repainting with white, though. That just seems to be too lifeless.
I agree with you about the white. It just reminds me too much of hospitals.
Now the yellow is a tough one there are VERY few really nice yellows out there. Most are way too close to gold which is dated or beige which is worse. I wish someone would create a true yellow and call it Southern Charm – you know like the amazing Souther Mansions that had that nice warm yellow with white accents? Just can’t find it.
HEY PAINT COMPANIES!! DID YOU HEAR THAT? 🙂

What’s the solution for houses with several rooms in one great room?
Most if not all my clients have homes with open floor plans or a great room such as yours. I like to have some type of green in the great room which symbolizes the color of the Heart Chakra – perfect room for “love” of family there.
Halls I keep light white, usually Westhighland White which is a soft, creamy white. This way you can have any colors you want to in the bedrooms and they will meet up against the white.
How do i get the name of these colors?
You can email me at DecoratingbyDonna@mac.com – I designed this color palette 🙂
What are the names of these colors? I can’t find that information on your site! Beautiful!
Please read the post from that color palette to find out the information. Thank you!

I need help! Renovating our smallish sized kitchen from drab to fab! Going for a Tuscany/French country feel. Ivory bead board cabinetry. Wood flooring. Months and numerous paint samples of yellows later and I can’t find what I want! Hubby then suggests green – I’m not a fan. PLEASE HELP! Thanks in Advance!
Olga
Olga, If your kitchen is smallish, then I’d certainly keep your color light and bright. Choose a creamy off white such as Classical White SW2829 and bring your French Country color accents in with your decor. I hope that helps!
Is it possible you could send the Ben Moore color numbers or names of this group?
Of course but there is a design fee for that and you can read the details in the post. Email me at DecoratingbyDonna@mac.com to order yours.

Do you have a color palette for a farmhouse style?
Sure do! Please send me an email at DecoratingbyDonna@mac.com to purchase that.
I have a windowless bathroom. The vanity is espresso can you suggest a color
What size is your bathroom? What color is your flooring? In small bathrooms I take the color right up over the ceiling. I just can’t pick a random color Marie, it would have to coordinate with the surrounding rooms. Email me at: DecoratingbyDonna@mac.com
I can’t stand when they post colors and they don’t tell you what they are I shouldn’t have to dig to find out what the colors are!
I can’t stand when people demand to know the names of the color palettes I design without paying for them. It’s how I made my living.
What is the name of the family room color
Please email DecoratingbyDonna@mac.com to purchase that information.
