He also warned me about gold tones, they tend to look too yellow on the wall. Originally I was leaning more toward colors that looked more gold on the swatch but I am glad I didn't go that route. I did choose a color called "harvest gold," also a Sherwin Williams paint for my two boys and sure enought, it looks too yellow!

I also have white trim and the blonde color is a nice contrast. Even though it is high up in lightness on the color chart, it is a pretty rich looking color, yet neutral.

Good luck!!
I was watching a show last night called "Flip this House"(I think that is what it was called) and they painted the interior "Blonde", it was a pretty color and very neutral. I just thought that was funny how you mentioned the same color they used.
