Colour is SUCH a powerful element to create with. We all experience colour uniquely, so be sure to enjoy the world in living colour!
The Power Colour: YELLOW
Yellow is full of energy, vitality and a hit of freshness! A powerful burst of sunshine, a ray of light or a hopeful yellow ribbon tied to a tree!
Wearing yellow is empowering! In a sea of grey or black clothes, which are great background colours, you will not stand out. Each time I wear yellow to an event or meeting, someone invariably comments “I love the freshness yellow brings to your look!”
Yellow is said to stimulate intellect and creativity, filling your mind with positive energy. It is always seen as a happy colour!…remember, Smileys are yellow!
George Harrison wrote the famed Beatles song “Here Comes the Sun” as a relief to the long grey winter, getting outside to finally enjoy some spring sunlight, from the dull winter 1969 England.
What’s the sense of yellow anyway?
Yellow in Nature: Bananas (a source of Vitamin D), canaries, honeybees, daffodils, buttercups, day lilies, lemons, etc.
Scent: Citrus, uplifting, zippy, fresh.
Taste: Straight lemons make your mouth pucker, but lemon tea is refreshing.
Yellow in Design: Welcoming, warmth and cheery atmosphere is created. If someone is unwell, try bringing yellow into their space through flowers or accessories to lift the spirit and reflect light.
Soft yellows (think butter) are stunning on walls in children’s rooms, just be sure to temper the shades, as saturated tones can create excitement making bedtimes a challenge!
Bright pops of canary or sunshine yellow lend themselves well to modern design, whereas more toned ochre, gold or mustard are often seen in traditional or heritage designs.
Yellow is the perfect antidote to a dull day—have yourself a sunshine of a day filled with bright ideas!
