When it's dreary and cloud filled outside, I still feel like there's some light in the room. When I walk into my house it's like a blanket is wrapped around my shoulders and I instantly feel protected. But since it's a warm color, if you paint a north facing room a shade of yellow it will seem warmer (a little Decorating 101 – for those of you getting ready to paint). The color yellow can evoke feelings of joy and happiness, but at the same time can make people feel frustrated and angry. For me, I'm more of a warm gold shade of yellow gal instead of an in your face lemon shade of yellow gal. As I sit here typing this, I look around my room at all the various shades of yellow. But bad memories aside, the only thing I kept coming back to was the actual color yellow and how it makes me feel.
I'm pretty sure there's butter in it according to my thighs…and butter is yellow. Then I thought of buttercream frosting, which I could eat a whole can of. And I also vaguely remember being called a "yellowbelly" at one point growing up because I run from spiders. I do remember having a Scwhinn bicycle that had a banana seat…but that wasn't yellow. Did I have an ugly dress as a child that was a hideous shade of 70's yellow? Not that I can recall or is documented by a Poloroid…which, unfortunately is not the case for a pair of patchwork bell bottom jeans I once wore. Who knew?Īnyway, I tried to think what the color yellow meant to me. What the heck does that song mean anyway? After doing some research on those song lyrics, I found out the supposed meaning…and that's a whole other type of post for a whole other type of blog.
And since I was given the color yellow to write about I can't seem to get Donovan's song Mellow Yellow out of my head. How ironic that this week's topic is a color since I'm an interior decorator.
