Stylish notes on Decor :: Yellow, does it cut the mustard?

Yellow. Happy cheery, sunny... bright, vibrant, golden, buttery, pale, citron, pastel... The color is as diverse and malleable as can be. It complements every color available, is suited to any climate, room, style and personality. Yellow is a bold and proud color and was favorited by such legendary designers as Albert Hadley and Nancy Lancaster. A simple accessory has enough strength to become a statement piece. An entire room painted in a bright or bold yellow suggests the owner is self confident, strong - not fearful of color or design. A room painted in a muted or softer tone is gentler on the eyes, more relaxing than her brighter, more energetic counterpart. Whether your style is traditional or contemporary there is a shade of this jubilant hue that is perfect for everyone.
