Color Palette: Hello Yellow

Yellow reminds me of sunshine, flowers, and joy. It’s wonderful warm color in all it’s tints and shades. Yellow is often associated with happiness, cheer, and energy. It’s definitely and attention-getter: see school buses and taxi cabs!

How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.
— Vincent Van Gogh
