Worst Thing Ever.

This is what it looks like from the dining room, through the office to the bathroom. The yellow (Lemon Pound Cake) was the last color we chose for the house and it's clear it was made in a hurry and without thinking it through completely.
I need suggestions as to what color should replace this yellow. Things to know: the room will be an office/studio space, it gets TONS of light, and the rooms it connects to are blue and red (as you can see), and white is not an option. Help!

I'm partial to white walls for working spaces.
If you think that's too distracting or sterile-feeling for such a creative space, I'd consider hitting just one wall with a color, and then you could go dark. Maybe a nice deep/dark violet? That would segue from the red to the blue and will look pretty neutral throughout the day.
I thought the camembert color on your front room looked nice -- are you hell bent on having every room a different color?
Maybe you should read this first, though:

Ah! This gets all the artists and designers going, doesn't it? I agree, you need something that goes with the orangey red and the dark blue. Hm.
I might try out a green. Does that just sound insane? Maybe on one wall like Anu says. Now I'll go read the article, Iran!
Oh wait! It's a studio? You're going to do stuff with color in there and you want to see it correctly? ACK! be careful. How about gray?
I dig the one-colored-wall, but I'm not sure if the landlord would go for it. I'm not dead set to have each room be a different color, it just has sort of worked out that way. Camembert would be a near perfect color, except that it makes a red, white and blue tunnel and that's not going to work for me.
Maybe what we need is a pale gray green...
Jenne,
You should have seen our little first floor bathroom closet after my mom painted it raspberry pink. It was blue a couple of days later!
But the closets Great Uncle Walter put in upstairs are all still deep orange. It's one of those mysteries...who picked that color? When the whole rest of the house was depression yellow?
Jen,
I really love the sage green I have in the living room - the color looks the same in the daylight or evening.
Congratulations to your Mom - the newest Greensboro lister!!
Love, Aunt Lynne
