Yellow Color Theory
How to use Color Psychology to Create an Emotionally Healthy Home
Anna Sotnik
Yellow, the color of sunshine, joy, warmth, happiness and hope. Yellow can catch the sunlight and leave you with an uplifting feeling of youth and liveliness. Yellow’s mood improving qualities could be assumed to help seasonal affective disorder during fall and winter.
Yellow – is the most visible color and is the first color the human eye notices.
- Yellow Jackets, waistcoats and helmets are worn for better visibility, especially for roadworks or on building sites.
- Yellow-black barricade tape serves as caution or potential hazard.
- Yellow lines separate traffic travelling in opposite directions.
- Yellow-black markings are also painted on the objects themselves as warnings.
Yellow is the most visible color as well as the most dangerous, if you combine it with black or brown. Even in nature, animals that have venom, spines or are toxic use this combination as a warning color. That’s the reason why scillful interior designers will never reccomend this combo for any living space.
This color triggers the analytical side of our brain but it loses touch with our creative side. It is a color that inspires thought and logical thinking and helps us find new ways of doing things.
Yellow also helps us focus, study and remember information.
