The most important facts about the colour yellow
Yellow is bright, warm and radiant. It is the brightest of the primary colours and can be found everywhere in nature. Just think of the many yellow flowers, the autumn leaves, the colour of lemons or the warm sunlight
Effect of yellow colour
In our perception, we associate yellow with joy, warmth and light. The colour stands for positivity, but also for creativity, curiosity and intellect. Yellow is an inviting colour that gives us strength and can have an encouraging effect.
Even in prehistoric times, cave paintings were made in the colour yellow using yellow ochre. The Egyptians also used the colour in their tombs, and later yellow ochre was used as wall paint in Roman villas. For the Greeks, the colour yellow was associated with the gods Apollo and Helios. Yellow was also the colour of the Chinese emperors. It always symbolised purity and light
Design rooms in yellow
In colour psychology, the positive effect of the colour yellow on people's well-being has been recognised, as it is said to have properties such as flowery, fruity, warm, bright and sunny. This is why yellow colours in a variety of shades are also ideal for decorating the walls of a room or its furniture. Living in shades of yellow appeals to all the senses, creating a good mood, cheerfulness and joie de vivre. Yellow creates positive associations and activates good ideas. Perhaps you could paint the bathroom in this colour to give yourself a boost first thing in the morning?
The broad spectrum of yellow tones ranges from the bright yellow-green of delicate spring shoots to the warm golden yellow of a setting sun, from a strong, yellow signal colour with strong radiance on traffic signs and traffic lights to bright lemon yellow. Design a room in a yellow colour and let the sunshine into your home. Use this colour to create an atmosphere full of cheerfulness and energy!
You should avoid yellow here
In rooms with south-facing windows that are therefore exposed to strong sunlight, yellow tones with their warm radiance can easily contribute to a feeling of overheating in the room, especially in summer. Here, you should opt for wall paints that have a slightly cooler effect.
Alternatives to yellow colour
If you like it even more intense and cheerful, opt for a yellow-red mix instead of yellow. Because the friendly effect of yellow tones can be surpassed with orange.
What shades of yellow are there?
It is also true for yellow that different shades of yellow have a completely different effect depending on their composition. Depending on which pigments are mixed with yellow, you can achieve a warm or cool atmosphere. Which variant you choose depends on how you want to use yellow tones in your interior design concept.
From mustard yellow to ochre: nuances of the colour yellow
The colour scheme of yellow tones ranges from an almost white, delicate pastel yellow to strong, fruity tones and a dark, warm yellow that tends towards ochre
White with Vanilla from MissPompadour is a typical example of an almost white yellow. Yellow with Saffron is a warm, almost muted yellow. Yellow with Lemon from MissPompadour creates a strong, bright yellow in your rooms.
Let the sunshine in: The effect of yellow as a wall paint
Yellow is a warm colour and makes a room appear larger and wider. Yellow colour shades are therefore ideal for small and dark rooms. If you opt for a light yellow wall paint, you can use it to paint all the walls in a room. If you are leaning towards a mustard yellow or intense yellow tone, you should opt for an accent wall in your favourite yellow. Yellow wall paints have a stimulating and invigorating effect, promoting performance and concentration. Yellow has a reputation for awakening creativity and lifting the mood. Due to its association with sun and warmth, yellow puts us in a positive mood and promotes communication
Yellow as a varnish on furniture, tiles & co
Yellow tones are not only great to use on walls, but also make interesting paint colours. Paint a small piece of furniture in our intense yellow with lemon and make it an eye-catcher in a room that otherwise tends to have muted, achromatic colours such as black, grey and white
Even a very large piece of furniture made of dark wood, such as a cupboard, can lose much of its heaviness with a pale yellow coat of chalk varnish Yellow & Creative
But why not give garden furniture made of wood or metal a friendly coat of yellow? Yellow varnish can also be used on bathroom tiles or kitchen splashbacks
Yellow colour: a highlight in many rooms
The use of yellow is particularly ideal in the dining room. A calm, warm tone such as ochre yellow is perfect here. Sunny yellow wall paints such as Yellow with Sun from the Just paint Collection also fit wonderfully in a dining room or the dining area of a kitchen
Yellow is also ideal for rooms where meetings are held due to its stimulating effect. The choice here should be a soft, yellow chalk paint, such as Yellow & Creative from LittlePomp. But you can also use the stimulating effect of yellow to create accents in the study. Yellow tones go particularly well with grey and white.
MissPompadour tips on the bright trend colour yellow
When used in measured doses and with careful consideration, yellow can create surprising effects. The brightening and stimulating effect of this colour, which has unjustifiably been somewhat forgotten in recent times, should not be underestimated.
Living styles and trends in yellow tones
If you love the Mediterranean style of living, yellow is a must-have colour. A strong, rich yellow on the wall, such as Yellow with Saffron, is the ideal Mediterranean wall paint. This yellow looks like it's straight out of a Cézanne painting, which is based on the warm colour shades of Provence. Combined with natural woods and other natural tones, such as the dark Green with Forest, the strong Blue with Night or a dark, intense red such as Red with Merlot, you can achieve a relaxed ambience that will make you forget many a dark day outside your window.
If you have a more retro style, you can use strong yellow tones particularly well. Whether as furniture or wall paints - a colour like Yellow with Lemon from our Just paint Collection suits this style. These expressive colour shades such as Yellow with Patina are just as suitable for an eclectic living style.
Yellow can also be wonderfully integrated into an elegant interior style. You can combine a petrol shade such as green with teal with the soft yellow with hay. If you add a few accents in gold, you'll create a sophisticated, elegant atmosphere.
Combination colours with yellow
Used correctly, you can combine yellow with many colours. A combination with the complementary colour violet works really well. You can create an expressive effect by designing a wall in the warm, intense yellow with saffron and adding furniture in the deep purple colour. A lemon-yellow colour such as Yellow with Lemon also looks extremely dynamic when complemented with a touch of violet
Shades of green in various shades also look highly interesting and very natural with yellow. A wall in our calm Green with Forest with a chest of drawers in Yellow with Lemon in front of it is guaranteed to be a highlight in your interior
But all shades of grey, from the light Grey with Seasalt to the dark anthracite of Black with Slate, also make a very harmonious combination with light, cool yellow tones. In addition to a wall in a yellow accent colour, choose a soft shade of grey for the other walls
Bold people choose intense reds and blues, which create an exciting relationship with all shades of yellow. However, they must be used skilfully and sparingly. If you want to give yellow a classy and elegant touch, combine it with the intense Green with Teal or a delicate turquoise shade such as Green with Aqua. In this setting, yellow really starts to shine.
Yellow goes particularly well with dark wood tones and dark lacquered furniture. Strong green plants with large leaves look particularly effective in a yellow and sunny ambience. Yellow in spicy shades, such as Yellow with Saffron, also goes well with natural wicker and rattan furniture

How does Mediterranean yellow work as a wall paint?
Mediterranean yellow makes every room appear flooded with sunlight. It spreads cosiness and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. However, you should bear this in mind when using it in south-facing rooms - here, a lot of yellow in combination with daylight can also make a room appear "too warm"
Does Mediterranean yellow go well with wooden furniture?
This warm yellow complements furniture made from dark natural woods particularly well.
Is Mediterranean yellow modern?
Mediterranean furnishings are certainly timeless, as they bring associations of summer, sun and holidays into your home. If yellow is your favourite colour, you should definitely use it in your home.
Which colours go well with Mediterranean yellow?
Dark shades of green such as Green with Forest or Green with Black are suitable, as are cool shades of green such as Green with Teal.
