The yellow colour: A symbol of joy and hope
Vivid and bright, it boosts creativity and energy of any space
Yellow is among the first colours used by humans for painting and arts, through the use of natural pigments such as ochre yellow from fire or plants. In Ancient Egypt they linked yellow with deity and life; in Rome, it was considered a symbol of wealth and prominent social status. In the Middle Ages, the use of yellow was restrained, as it was linked to treason and evil. Later, yellow returned as a colour symbolizing joy and hope and at the same time stimulated inspiration and creativity.
As regards interior decoration, yellow can provide unique benefits and create an impressive ambiance. In order to leverage yellow colour’s mental benefits, you can combine it with neutral or cooler wall colours, to avoid excessive acuteness.
Pastel shades of yellow can offer a smooth and relaxing atmosphere, while intense shades are preferred to be contained in small surfaces or accessories, to enhance spiritedness without overwhelming spaces. An ideal colour to paint spaces that foster creativity and interaction, such as offices, sitting rooms and kitchens.
Especially in kitchens, it can be matched to natural materials on immovable parts, such as wood. To renew wooden surfaces, you may opt for KRAFT Paints Wood Aqua Eco. This can be coloured in thousands fandeck shades, with especially mild smell and impeccable finish.
