Yellow - fill the space with happiness and optimism

Yellow is the colour of sun, shine and brightness. It is the most stimulating colour of all which the human eyes first perceives. This is why in many countries taxis and school buses are painted in yellow. It is characterised by great wavelength and many of you will be surprised to hear that it is lighter than white.

Yellow is the “happiest” colour in the whole spectrum, it vibrates optimism and energy and attracts attention. This is why yellow is often used to give accent and highlight certain details and parts of rooms. This warm colour is symbolically associated with the sun and brings luck, self-confidence and even wisdom. It accelerates metabolism and breathing, raises blood pressure, improves awareness and communication. Have you ever asked yourself why mail boxes are traditionally yellow?

However, yellow has a negative side. If a room is too saturated with yellow and if you spend too much time in it, it can cause frustration, anger and fear. Some shades of yellow emit a large amount of light, so they make our eyes tired. For example, reading from the yellow background is the hardest, just for this reason. Research has shown that babies tend to cry longer and more often in rooms with yellow walls. That is why it is the best to consult the experts and leave the choice of adequate shades for a particular room to them. Also, they will know how to, by selecting good quality materials and proper combination of yellow shades with other colours, produce just the right effect which you want.
