How does the colour Yellow affect your mood?

Yellow is a colour that refuses to sit quietly. It has dazzled humanity since prehistoric cave painters first smeared yellow ochre across stone and today it continues to electrify canvases in studios around the world. But what is it about this radiant, sometimes temperamental colour that keeps artists coming back to it?

Yellow’s remarkable versatility is part of what makes it so compelling in art, it can illuminate a scene like natural sunlight, create dynamic contrast when set against blues or violets, harmonise beautifully with neighbouring hues such as greens and oranges and inject a painting with warmth, vibrancy and psychological brightness. In short... makes you Happy!
