Chosing Yellow Paint - Help Appreciated!

I warned you that yellow paint options were coming up next in my grey wall paint post - and since that post turned up some really great comments, feed back and paint suggestions, I couldn't resist but be greedy and ask for MORE help. ;)

Here are some Yellow Paints that we are considering for our living room and dining room:

My friend's yellow breakfast nook

Paint:
Ralph Lauren Chesapeake Sunset - looks awesome their smaller space, but would it be too bright for a larger space?

Paint: Benjamin Moore Mellow Yellow - lighter...

Image: Used Behr Color Smart program

Paint: Behr Sun Shower

Paint: Behr Wildflower Honey - too much of a golden undertone?

I am having a really hard time finding yellows that I really like. I'm finding some great photos online that portray rooms with yellow walls, but they don't list what the paint color is! Here are some colors I like, but not sure where to get them...

Is this one too neon? too lime?

Any of you amazing people out there have any good yellow suggestions for me?? Thank you!
