Shades of Yellow

Yellow - yellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice and deceit. Although it can work as the primary color, yellow often works best as a companion to other colors. Use bright yellow to create excitement when red or orange may be too strong or too dark.

Below are some great interiors using all shades of yellow, from traditional to contemporary.




Use yellow to perk up a more subdued cool palette of blues.

Very pale yellows can work as neutrals alongside darker or richer colors.

Mix yellow with neutral grey and a dash of blakc for a high-tech look
Yellow and blue are a high contrast, eye-popping combination
