Re: How much yellow is just right?

Pale yellow is fine, but not those vibrant shades.

Re: How much yellow is just right?

We had a yellow guest room I loved, but wouldn't want to live with it unless I had a really big house and had it (pale) in the hallway with touches throughout the house.

I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all these rooms are attractive.  If this is something you like, why not.  I don't think you can have too much of any color you enjoy.  Life is meant to be enjoyed and if yellow is your color and it makes you happy, why not!  

 

I think the residents of the Scandanavian countries enjoy the soft yellow colors because of the lack of sunshine and cold days, and the yellow is uplifting and cheerful.  It's a happy color.

I like the room in the first picture; I don't care for the rooms in the second and third pictures.

I like the pale yellow in the first picture and also in the kitchen in the second picture.  It's a big NO for the bright yellow in the last picture (I would get sick of looking at that color -- too intense).  Cat Happy

I'd write in yellow but we can't see it @GingerPeach.

 

I love yellow, my master bedroom is a lovely yellow, a bit more than butter, a great color. The sun rises right into our room and it just glows!  It's very easy to decorate I find too. I have tons of quilts that just make this room beautiful!  Love it!

 

I love the first two here - actually all of them. I would love the third one in a warm climate though.

I'm not a yellow or orange person.  Colors on that line, I'd say.  I do like the sun shining in, but not in rooms with walls. Not for me, thank you.

I'm not a fan of yellow, orange or red.  

 

The first picture isn't bad...

I put some space between the pics in the hope that those who saw just three might now see four.  (No pressure to go back, of course!)

I'm very happy to read that so many of you actually like yellow, when done to your taste, and especially in the kitchen (maybe not for cabinets!).  Whenever I hear comments by potential buyers on HGTV shows, they're always saying stuff like, "That's SO yellow."  Maybe it is, but it depends, as you've all proven!  


 

@GingerPeach  I still only see three....but I enjoyed them! :-)  That was so sweet of you to try and show the fourth. Thanks!

 

Yellow is considered a 'power' color just like red or black....that is probably why so many refer to it as "so yellow."

Re: How much yellow is just right?

I like yellow in room decor but it has to be on the lighter shade and in small amounts since yellow is such a strong color.  I like the shade of yellow on the kitchen cupboards but would never paint my cupboards yellow.  That color might be nice on kitchen walls.  I'm not sure.
