YELLOW ROCKS!
It's the “It” color of the moment and, there’s nothing like adding a little sunshine to your wardrobe or your home interior with a pop of yellow. Mix it with an elegant camel hue and it’s subtle and sophisticated. Try it with black and it’s dramatic. Mix it with white and it’s fresh and inspiring. The bottom line – yellow shines with optimism. It stimulates our mental processes and nervous systems; it activates the memory; it encourages communication. Fabulous as the color of your new leather purse or the color of the window panels you just put in your living room, yellow carries the promise of a positive future.
