I always take my fabrics to natural sunlight when picking the colors. Generally that means outside for the final decision. Therefore, the color of my room doesn't matter. It's off-white since we rent. Our apartment is partially underground, so it's like a dungeon in the living and dining rooms as there's no sun on that side of the building. Lots of trees close to the building.
I'd make the room a color you feel good in. If that's sunny yellow go for it.

I just repainted my sewing room and because blue is my favorite color I had the walls painted light blue. I love it and if it has interfeared with my seeing the true color of my projects I sure haven't noticed it. I love the room and spend a lot of time in it. So I agree with everyone else use the color you are comfortable with and if bright yellow is what you like use it. We need to make our rooms a place where we feel good in and happy in.

Mine would have been Yellow but I had 3 gallons of this color laying around after I restored my home. This was going to be the color of my sunroom but my wife didn't like it after we had it mixed.
At first I didn't think much about the color but I like it now since I have been spending more time in there. I cant wait till I have the addition done so I can lay the quilt block floor using purple, yellow, red, and the focus color orange.
The floor will be an Ohio block when its done.

Three wall are yellow and one is yellow with white stripes. These colors were on the wall when we bought it. I have two boys and the rest of the house is done in browns and reds. It is nice to have a bright room to sew in. A girly room. Perhaps think about the rest of your house and since this will be your room what color would make it special and unique to you.

Caroltee, tell me about your EM!! I want to buy one in the future.
Our house was built in 1940 and we converted a bedroom into our sewing room. All four walls are Monterey Paneling that we lightly white washed to lighten up the room.
