{hello yellow}





Here is a little more than you ever wanted to know about my favorite color....








A fondness for yellow suggests you’re an optimist who accepts people for who they are. You like to make everyone feel good. Like other people who love yellow, you tend to extend yourself without expecting anything in return, but you don’t accept kindness easily so it’s hard for others to do nice things for you.





Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism. {woo hoo!}
















Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.
Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy.




The shade of yellow determines the meaning. Pure, bright and sunny yellow is the easiest color to see. People who are blind to other colors can usually see yellow. Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy. Always use yellow note pads.





Yellow symbolizes wisdom. Yellow means joy and happiness. People of high intellect favor yellow. Yellow daffodils are a symbol of unrequited love.




Like the energy of a bright sunny day, yellow brings clarity and awareness. The shade of yellow determines its effect: Yellow-green can mean deceit, and creates a disoriented feeling. Orange-yellow imparts a sense of establishment. Clean light yellow clears the mind, making it active and alert.





i'm undecided on if i'm buying the crying babies and flared tempers bit. but i would fully like to believe that it could speed my metabolism.



when i think of yellow i think clean, fresh, happy and inspiring. it is by far my favorite color.




so there you have it.

I LOVE yellow, especially when it comes to decorating and fashion. It's so pretty and elegant and wonderful! Maybe that's where we became such good friends; the love for yellow!

Oooh, I LOVE IT! The top two and the picture of the lemons are my favorites:)! I have a hard time believing people lose their tempers more in yellow rooms (if I read that right), it's such a happy color. Hmmm, I think I'll change my blog to YELLOW;0)! Cute post!

I like yellow a lot, but I have to say the color that brings me peace, relaxes me, and releases those happy endorphins is baby blue. Where can I get all this info about MY color?
