Yellow colour

Yellow is a primary colour, warm and friendly in nature. Strongly associated with the sun, holidays and travel. These positive connotations mean that yellow can quickly and easily create a pleasant, optimistic atmosphere. Associated with the sun or gold, yellow was revered by the Maya and Egyptians. In China too, this colour was linked to the emperor and gained the status of a royal colour - yellow is highly valued and revered there. Although yellow can sometimes evoke extreme associations - being both optimistic and joyful, yet also linked to betrayal or sickness - its cheerful nature definitely wins out.
