Because yellow is associated with cheerfulness, optimism and the sun, it makes a perfect decorating choice in rainy climates or in north-facing rooms or rooms without windows. Yellow draws the eye and becomes brighter with greater saturation. It is an excellent choice to highlight a special piece of furniture, collection or art. Yellow is a natural choice for the kitchen because its golden, buttery and custard tones suggest deliciousness. Yellow is an ideal color to add a friendly warmth to the exterior of your home. It also can be used to bring the warmth of sunshine into narrow or dark spaces.
