Let’s take a look at yellow, a welcoming spring and summer color found in everything from bees and daffodils to vivid sunrise and sunsets. Did you know that every color supposedly has a meaning? Yellow is often energizing and uplifting. It can transform any ordinary décor from boring and dull to cheerful and full of life.

Yellow on the color chart falls between orange and green according to the spectrum of visible light. It is a primary color in the subtractive color system, and its opposite is purple. Yellow is a symbol of hope, happiness, and spontaneity. It is mostly considered a happy and youthful color. Since it garners awareness, it may also signify caution.

Per Sensational Color, yellow has physical effects that stimulate our nerves, glands, and brain, making us feel more energized. Yellow boosts our memory, encourages communications, and promotes activity and interaction. This is a result of color psychology, the study of hues as a determinate of human behavior. It affects how people relate to colors, which may be attributed to history, or subconscious, or personal preference.

It is believed that yellow can cheer people up because it is the inverse of darkness and gloominess. However, Sensational Color also cautions that yellow may also carry some negative connotations, including feeling too overwhelming or representing cowardice. Since colors mean different things to different people, yellow can also be empowering. If you get a good feeling when you see a color, it carries positive energy.

Artists often use yellow because it is inspirational and sparks emotions and joy. Similarly, homeowners can use yellow to brighten up an interior and make it more inviting. If you’re feeling blue (color pun intended), add some yellow into your life to see if it sparks joy! Yellow can be simply added to one’s home through bright artwork, a few home furnishings, lampshades, throw pillows, blankets, rugs, cut flowers, soft golden lighting, and more!
