Yellow is the lightest of all the rich, colorful colors. However, it is the color that is most tiring to the eyes because of the large amount of light it reflects.
It comes in a variety of shades, from lemon yellow to bright yellow and orange-yellow to the green-tinged yellow and mustard that have become popular in recent years.

Shades of yellow in the interior
Indoors, it is well suited for brightening up spaces that lack sunlight or daylight.
It energizes and lifts your spirits.
Yellow perfectly fills and expands space.
It is perfect for kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms. In hallways and small spaces, yellow looks spacious and welcoming.
In reasonable quantities, its use is also acceptable in children's and student rooms and offices. In this case, a favorable combination with blue or gray "tames" it.
In the living room, choose a sofa, rug, curtains, as well as decorations and accessories in yellow tones. Perhaps a more muted mustard-sand wall color for the wallpaper.
Yellow is most intense when next to blue-violet or dark blue.
For ceilings, you can use bright yellow. For floors, use ochre or brownish-yellow.
When combined with black, it is aggressive (used on warning signs).
Although it is a cheerful color for a good mood, it should not be used too much in a bold color variant in the interior. In large quantities, it can cause a feeling of disappointment or even anger. In blindingly yellow rooms, children cry and adults lose their good mood.
Therefore, it is best to use yellow carefully and moderately and only on furniture, textiles and decorations.
Yellow can be combined with a variety of cool and warm shades. The most beautiful combinations of yellow are with cooler colors that soften its "glow" or with neutral colors. The bolder ones can combine it with lavender or plum.
It brings brightness and light to neutral and dull interiors and revives them in one fell swoop. It is enough to put a canary yellow carpet on the floor or place a sofa in this color scheme in the room, and the final impression will be completely different.
