For a honey-hued paint similar to the exterior, try Valspar’s Toasted Honey (2006-1B) or Benjamin Moore’s Honeybell.
A painting by Vilhelm Lundstrom hangs above Juhl’s Poet Sofa designed in 1941, the same year the house was built.
For a match to the mustard yellow ceiling see Benjamin Moore’s Yellow Oxide, Farrow & Ball’s India Yellow, or Little Greene’s Mister David.

The green in the painting by Richard Mortensen is reflected in the Finn Juhl Egyptian Chairs (1949).
