The ambiguous color


In medieval Europe, yellow had been deplored as vular or frivolous, but it became fashionable in the eighteenth century.

In its original form, it is pure (without impurities) color and it has some of the most famous shades: lemon, Neapolitan yellow (almost ivory), yellow-green, beige, woody, gold and others. Yellow color is pleasing to the human eye: it shines in the sun and most of the light bulbs in our homes. Any cold shade becomes warm if yellow is added to it.

Interior

However, the combination of yellow in the interior must be carefully calculated. So that the yellow walls and furniture, coupled with the light of the lamp, do not blind your eyes and do not irritate, it is important to think over a “counterweight” for warm light and choose the right shades.



How to use: as an accent

The most obvious solution for yellow is to use it as a bright detail in the design of the room. These can be chairs, doors, textiles (pillows, tablecloths, curtains), decorative items or flowers. In this case, you can choose active, bright shades of yellow, diluting them with a calm background or complementing them with soft and cold colors.



Walls

Yellow walls look different: calm shades are suitable for classic style; for modern – bright and saturated. In most cases, they really make the room brighter. As with other saturated colors, you can paint only one wall yellow (or find a wallpaper of this color with an interesting pattern). Moreover, the yellow wall does not have to be accent and attract all the attention to itself. It can be just a backdrop for colorful wall decor, mirrors and furniture.

Kitchen and bathroom

In such rooms, the yellow color for the walls is especially appropriate: in the bathroom it wakes up and cheers you up in the morning, in the kitchen it illuminates and sets you up for vigorous activity. At the same time, the texture for yellow can be any: ceramic tiles, wallpaper, paint, wood. Patterned yellow wallpaper combined with classic furniture creates a cozy feeling even in a technical room.

Clothes

What color most often evokes in people an association with summer, warmth and fun? Of course, yellow. It is the color of joy, cheerfulness, sun and warmth. In psychology, yellow speaks of the need for self-development, the desire to discover new things and express oneself.

Psychologists recommend wearing sun-colored things in cloudy and rainy weather, thus raising your mood, compensating for the lack of sunlight. Although yellow is not always appropriate. For example, you should not wear bright yellow clothes to a business meeting, you can thereby annoy the interlocutor. And extra aggression at such meetings is clearly not necessary. Therefore, for such meetings, it is better to limit yourself to yellow accessories.

Bright, rich, cheerful, versatile and incredibly beautiful, yellow has become the main favorite in women’s fashion this and the next season. Stylish yellow clothes 2022-2023 will allow you to create not only beautiful everyday outfits, but also romantic evening looks.

A couple of tips on how to choose the right shade and type of clothing in yellow:

  • Owners of a cold color type are better off choosing clothes in muted yellow shades, for example, pale yellow, lemon, champagne and gray-yellow.
  • If you find it difficult to determine your color type, just remove the yellow color from your face. Beautiful skirts, trousers, yellow shorts will help you look bright and fashionable.
  • Do not forget about yellow fashion accessories with which you can complement the female look. Handbags, hats, jewelry and yellow shoes diversify even the most boring and nondescript outfit.
  • In addition to yellow, another trendy shade of 2022 is gray. Therefore, images that combine both trendy shades are more popular than ever. Basically, such bows involve the use of a yellow top (blouses, sweaters, tops) and a gray bottom (skirts, trousers, shoes).
  • When choosing yellow clothes, keep in mind that a warm and light shade will visually add a couple of kilograms to you. On this property, the main methods of figure correction are built. What could be simpler: a yellow blouse will visually increase the chest by several sizes, and a skirt will make the lower body appetizing.
