Yellow is easily considered the most cheerful color in the rainbow. It is full of life and energy, but has a softer appeal than say orange or red. Your eye is naturally drawn to yellow, which is why things such as school buses and traffic signs are yellow. It doesn’t necessarily have to be used in a bold shade, however. There are many different shades of yellow from the soft (and almost neutral) to the bold and eye-catching. Regardless of what shade you use, this color can make a space feel more uplifting and stylish. Check out these beautiful examples of rooms featuring yellow accents.

Warm regards,
