Color Theory: Yellow


Year after year yellow remains one of my favorite colors.  It is always warm and inviting and inevitably plays well with other colors from white to black, lavender to green.  Be it a paler calmer tone or more acidic tone.  I love all of its electric and muddy variations.

I will never forget the first time I layed eyes on  the yellow/black and limestone boutique of designer Bijan with his ever present yellow Bentley parked out front.  Slightly over the top, of course,  but unforgettable and quintessentially Beverly Hills. 
Whether in nature, fashion, food or interiors something about yellow makes me smile.  Perhaps it speaks to our constant need for a little sunshine? 

Long live yellow!
