Years ago in a magazine, they listed a color from a major brand that was a good color for a sewing room. So off I went to buy it as I was moving into this house and I was a new quilter. Well, it was yellow, but Holy Cow, was it yellow! So I decided to go way down the color chart to a yellow I could live with. Now I still have yellow but it’s lighter still. I would suggest you go first to a color you really love and see if the light from the windows work with it.
