How wonderful yellow is, it stands for the sun! - Van Gogh
The
colour Yellow is back in home decor. People who are apprehensive of bold
colours like red or coral are finding it a vibrant, yet comfortable,
alternative. The research team of Asian Paints Colour Next has declared it the
colour of the year 2018 - the exact name being Passion Flower (shade X107 in
their catalogue). Apart from this there are several other popular shades of
yellow – Mango Mood and Turmeric being popular amidst the brighter options (http://colournext.asianpaints.com/colour-of-the-year/).
Yellow
can work well as the main colour as well as an accent colour to other colours.
It can be used on the walls or on accessories, indoors as well as outdoors, to
accentuate the look.
In a setting where dark heavy furniture dominate the scene, the yellow on the wall helps reduce the sternness by offering the perfect contrast and is surely a mood up-lifter.
Bright Lemon-Yellow walls are the best alternative to striking red
or orange walls as they are vibrant but not quite as strong or dark. Throwing
in some complementary colour like blue, in form of furniture or accessory, can
surely enhance the visual appeal.
The lighter shades of yellow walls actually provide the neutral
backdrop for bright accessories.
Accessories in one or more shades of Yellow can contribute to the home decor. The Golden Yellows
can exude richness when matched with black or pure white or silver.
Mixing yellow with neutral grey is the latest rage, be it on
walls or with accessories.
Yellow, along with orange and similar bright colours, is always
associated with sunshine and invariably it manages to bring warmth and
happiness - whether it is indoors, or outdoors!
Summing up the beauty of Yellow with a short but meaningful poem,
She wore her yellow sun-bonnet
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead.”
~ A. A. Milne, When We Were Very Young
