ColourColour Chat: Yellow, Yellow!

It is a gorgeous, glorious colour! There’s no such thing as too much sunshine. And for a while, there’s been no such thing as wearing too much yellow!

While neutrals like Black, White and Beige look to be the colours of seasons to come, Yellows of all kinds continue to be favourites.

Citron, Champagne, Lemon, Gold, Neon,
Saffron, Mustard, Jewel-Tone Yellow

These and other variations of yellow have shared the limelight of our collective attention though some have been more dominant than others. The dominant yellows include Gold, Saffron, and Jewel Tone Yellow. For this post, I’ve sampled 6 popular variations.

*Hint* ↠ #6 is the ‘Belle of the Ball’!

Citron

Citron is a fruity greenish yellow. This borderline neon colour is very attractive and somewhat edgy. It’s a tricky one to combine too.

Champagne is a sophisticated shade of yellow. And unlike its peers in this post, it can be a neutral (think beige). However, this is only a matter of context. Few colours are as luxurious as Champagne in certain fabrics. It is definitely a classic shade of yellow.

Lemon

Lemon is a variation of yellow most of us appreciate. For people who’re not completely sold on deep, vibrant yellows, Lemon is a good option. To be safely on trend viz yellow, you simply cannot go wrong with Lemon!

When it comes to rich yellows, none is as universally desirable as Gold. Indeed for many, it is ‘the’ yellow.

Saffron

Saffron is a rich, orange tinged yellow that gets its name from the popular Indian spice. Saffron makes for really vibrant accessories and clothes.

Jewel Tones are colours derived from gemstones. These colours are feted by stylists and designers because they have the right balance of intensity and saturation.

While Gold (especially non-metallic) doesn’t always translate in clothing, and Saffron sometimes blends away from yellow to orange, Jewel Tone Yellow holds steady. It is bright but not overly so, and rich but not overly so. Jewel Tone Yellow is perfect for everyone who’s caught the yellow bug!
