No. 6: Lemon Yellow
-
Why we love it: For people who love the color but can't wear it, and that's most of us, bright yellow works well as part of your décor. It can be toned down and classic, but when it's bold, yellow wakes up a room.
How to use it: Lemon yellow creates the illusion of light in rooms with few windows, but it also looks great when natural light makes it appear paler. It's great as an accent on pillows, in upholstery, or in tableware. We love vivid yellows paired with green, black, blue, white, and tobacco brown. We often see this sunny shade in kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms.
