Yellow is the happiest color
Yellow is linked to sunshine and optimism. But on large areas it's tiring: use it for details or pair it with white.
Balance warm and cool
A palette of only oranges and reds can feel aggressive. A turquoise or fresh green calms things down and keeps the whole thing feeling happy.
Keep a neutral for text
With so many bright colors, text needs a dark gray or deep blue to stay readable.
