Yes, again. About two and a half years ago, you helped us with a new color for our foyer in Southampton, and we chose the beautiful marigold color we have now. We’ve enjoyed it, but we’re ready for a change, and I’d appreciate your advice again. We’re in the mood for a change because we’re just restless, I guess, but also because of our changing use of the house. We used to spend most weekends there year-round, but we’re using the place less in fall and winter now, and the color seems a little autumnal for what has become much more a summer house.
For context, here are a few pictures showing the present color (in autumn.)

The furniture and Beni Ouarain carpet will stay, but I just bought this cheerful 1959 Bitossi studio pottery lamp to sit on the entry console. (Julia is particularly happy with this addition.)
Here are three preliminary color directions: a medium yellow (Pratt & Lambert “Summer Sun” 14-11), apple green (Benjamin Moore “granny smith” CSP-860) and a cornflower blue (Pratt & Lambert “Kitten’s Yarn” 26-6). What do you think? Other ideas?
We’ll paint by Memorial Day.
