“Choosing a yellow paint can be a lot easier than finding the right shade of grey. My fav citrus color is BM Sunkissed Yellow #2022-20. It looks amazing paired with BM Decorator’s White known for having barely noticeable undertones. This yellow is invigorating yet inviting at the same time.”

“Favorite citrus color: Stay in Lime by Sherwin Williams. Great pop of color for an accent wall in your home or an exciting throw pillow—fresh, fun, but not overwhelmingly bright.”
—Beth Bridgers, Beyond Blue Interiors, beyondblueinteriors.com
“Navel Sherwin Williams 6887 is a bold, saturated orange and, if used as an all over color, would look great with natural, off white drapes and other similar, toned-down natural accents. It also pairs well with soft, green-based blues as another accent color for accessories. For a more subtle jolt, lacquer a singular piece of furniture or a set of chairs.”

“My favorite citrus color is Flashpoint by Behr (P320-1). This color is a subtle pastel and super classic. I think of lemon merengue pie every time I see this color.”
—Stephanie Tidwell, Stephanie Tidwell Interiors, stephanietidwell.com
“This orangey-pink color reminds me of the inside of a juicy grapefruit! I love how inviting it is, casting a warm glow as the light bounces off. It packs a punch of color so use sparingly – as an accent wall, for example. Combine with a statement wallpaper containing small hints of coral and now you’re talking!”
