First up is this earthy, golden shade (Semolina by Benjamin Moore) on the cabinets and range hood in a Massachusetts new build. The color ties in with the deep caramel veining in the quartzite counters.

“This color radiates cheerfulness! It accentuates the details of this custom vanity, but you could also use it on an accent wall or to bring new life to a vintage piece," says designer Naïka Andre. "A little goes a long way!” (Golden Hour by Clare)

“This shade is the perfect mix of yellow, orange and brown," say designers Rob Smearing and Ann Nguyen of The Designed Host. "It shifts tones throughout the day, going from playful in the morning to moody by the evening.” (Spicy Mustard by Benjamin Moore)

“This living room needed a wow factor, and painting the fireplace seemed like the obvious choice," says designer Amanda Louise Campbell. "But why stop there? I kept the brightness going with an orange chair and rug. Now this spot is filled with energy!” (Solarium by Behr)
