Colour Trend: Yellow

This week we have been mostly thinking about the colour yellow.

Here are some nice and ‘on trend’ examples of yellow which range from an optimistic, primary yellow to a more zesty lime colour. Often using a bold hue such as these would be visually overpowering, but combined with soft finishes and natural materials they become more delicate and approachable.

Keywords for this colour trend: Vibrant, Sharp, Zesty, Sour, Acidic, Bold.
