Wisteria Extravaganza: Kitchen Chairs

One of my favorite things about Dallas is the Wisteria outlet, which is dangerously close to where I live.  I have made three major purchases in the past couple months for too good to be true deals that induced a rapid heart rate: a mirror, an entryway table, and these newly purchased chairs.  The chairs just happened to be the ones I had my eye on, and had initially come to the store to find:

My favorite was the Wegner Wishbone Chair at Room and Board but Wisteria's were a quarter of the price, so I was even willing to pay in full.  Even though they don't come in the array of colors that Room and Board's selections do, I was happy to settle with white.  When I saw the chairs in all their glory in their 40% off section and a massive store sale to boot (additional 20%) I was thrilled-can you say steal!  But I had to pick them up in a mishmash of colors, knowing that I must paint them, so in the end, I may just get my dream yellow Wegner chair a la my initial Room and Board inspiration:

I went to a number of places to purchase all of my supplies: sandpaper, primer, lacquer finish, and painter's tape.  On my last stop, someone who refinishes furniture for a living overheard me and we struck a deal: $25 a chair.  I could breathe a big sigh of relief, because I am not a huge DIYer and was nervous about the outcome of me tackling this project alone.  To top it off, I could pick any yellow paint color under the sun, which he could color match, so I wasn't stuck with the slim choices of the spray paint colors.

I have been awash in a sea of yellow paint swatches for days, deciding on the perfect match.  I am looking for a color that is not too bright but is also not the pastel color of a plastic Easter egg.

Help?

I have these stools in the color I am seeking from a photo I took of David Jimenez's designed Palm Springs house (see here and here), and as always, the yellow doors of the Viceroy Palm Springs provide my inspiration color.

In the end, I decided to go for it with a swatch I had from Valspar: Lemon Curd.  Now to drop off my chairs, and hope that this all turns out as planned!
