How to wear yellow
A yellow piece looks great with jeans, gray, white or navy. If it's your first time, try a yellow accessory or blouse with the rest neutral. For shoes, white, nude and brown are safe. Yellow with black creates a graphic, modern look.
Yellow in home decor
Yellow brings cheer to kitchens, dining rooms and entryways. Use it on an accent wall, chairs, throw pillows or lamps. Pair it with gray, white and light wood for balance. Avoid large areas of bright yellow in bedrooms.
Yellow in graphic and web design
Yellow stands out on dark backgrounds, but on white it's barely readable. Use it as a button background with black text, or as an accent on charcoal or navy.
What to avoid
Avoid pairing it with intense orange and red at the same time, because the look gets loud. As text on pure white, yellow is very hard to read.
