Personally, I don't kike built ins, but when they are the same color as the walls, it looks more formal.

I like same color and contrast however yellow is not one of the colors I would choose.

I'd not opt for that brilliant yellow for either the walls or the built-ins, but don't have a problem with the walls and built-ins being the same color. I also don't mind if the built-ins offer contrast. In this instance, I think the monochromatic look is as nice as it can be give the choice of colors.

I prefer a bit of contrast with my built-ins so I wouldn’t want them the same color as the walls. I can see how it might help in a small room though. I like a pale creamy yellow on walls, but this yellow is way too bright for me.

I prefer white or wood for built ins. However, this shade of yellow is harsh and off putting so the whole room doesn't work for me.

I like the idea of the same color, but I could never live w/this yellow!!

For me it depends on the room and the design style....

I'm not fond of yellow---the pale shades are okay but don't care for the deep yellow color nor the furniture and style of this room................

@lolakimono my opinion...when the room is small, it may be better to have no contrast, althougy I am not fond of the tint of the yellow; if the room is large then I like the contrast in color.

@lolakimono , definitely a contrasting color.  S

Oh, sweet mother.  I LOVE yellow, but this shade makes my eyes bleed.  Heck, having the built in's a different color wouldn't make much difference to me in this case.
