Color Obsession: Yellow

The color yellow makes me think of summer and the warmth of the sun.

The color yellow makes me think of summer and the warmth of the sun. It’s an energetic and vibrant shade that, I have to admit, I’m just lately being drawn to. It’s not a color I typically present to clients, maybe because I grew up surrounded by it in my mom’s house. I feel good when I’m wearing yellow, I just don’t often design with it. Now, however, I find myself liking yellow more and more. Not a pale yellow, but a bright, saturated hue ideally suited to long summer days!
