The best part of the movie is when she is telling the painter all the colors she wanted. I made the mistake of helping a friend re-paint his living room and kitchen they way his girlfriend wanted it. I can swear it was like the movie, the yellow walls DID look like a pound of the grocers best butter.

That really is how colors are, to men and women. Women go on for days with their descriptions and to guys it's just "blue, green, yellow, white."

That's true. My wife always knows all the current names for subtle variations of colors (they seem to be continually changing), but to me it's just blue, light blue, dark blue, greenish-blue, etc.
I went into the kitchen and looked at the butter, which I certainly hope was good quality, and you know what? That creamy pale yellow would be a pretty color for a dining room. :-)
shareMy favourite scene in the whole film! I just love how he goes along with her (Im just the same describing colours to my husband - me: "The colour on a new conker" him: What? Brown?)
Goodnight, good luck and may your God go with you
This scene was the inspiration for my pale yellow dining room!!!! : )
shareI suppose this movie was made before paint companies came up with swatches.
Woman, man! That's the way it should be Tarzan. [Tarzan and his mate]

That's one of my favorite scenes, too. Partly because I'm the same way she is about colors, but to someone else, it would just be white, blue, yellow, green. To me, though, it would be like Muriel described. Funny scene!
shareI just read an article about the real house in CT, and it had a picture.The owners have kept the dining room the yellow-butter color

I remember that scene from a Sherwin Williams paint commercial from the 80's. It was the scene where she was telling the painters what she wanted. I never saw this movie until the early 90's. I love it!
I did remember the commercial!
LOL i love that scene so much.
