Using Yellow:

Although it can work as the primary color, yellow often works best as a companion to other colors.

·         Use bright yellow to create excitement when red or orange may be too strong or too dark.

·         Yellow can be perky.

·         Use yellow to suggest freshness and citrus fruitiness.

·         Golden yellows can stand in for gold.

Using Yellow with Other Colors:

·         Use yellow to perk up a more subdued cool palette of blues and grays.

·         Use lemon yellow with orange to carry out a healthy, summery, citrus theme.

·         Very pale yellows can work as neutrals alongside darker or richer colors.

·         Yellow and blue are a high contrast, eye-popping combination.

·         Mix yellow with neutral gray and a dash of black for a high-tech look.

·         Try a hot, exciting mix of red and yellow.

·         For an earthy palette, especially for fall, mix yellow, olive green, and brown.

·         While yellows and bright or light greens can be part of a natural, fruity color palette, be careful not to use colors too close in value or they will appear washed out.
