“The perfect earthy pink is Insightful Rose from HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams. I painted it in my child’s bedroom; it was love at first swatch!” —Hanna Kilar @homesbyhannadesign
“I love using a mustard yellow, like Fields of Gold by Benjamin Moore, because it is a rich, deep, textured tone that is warm and adds a great layering to any room. I have used it successfully in rooms that are sunny to accentuate and extend a joyful feeling. Doing it in a high-gloss sheen gives it great dimension.” —Garrow Kedigian @garrowkdesigns
