What is it about the color yellow that many of us love so much?
~
I’m guessing primarily because it’s the color of the sun, the light that brightens the sky and our world when it shines.
~
I think that on a subliminal level we (as living beings) know that our life is dependent upon the sun.
~
Yellow is a warming color, whether it be the sun or by fire.
Yellow is a cheerful color by it’s very nature. A feel good about yourself sort of color!
~
When I think of the color yellow I think of a multitude of shades.
~
Subtle shades that sooth “mellow yellow” and vibrant shades that are cheerful and uplifting.
~
But mostly the color yellow is the color that brightens,
regardless of the hue or the format being viewed by us.
~
Yellow provides a contrast to all the other colors surrounding it.
~
Creatures of all kinds, those in the ocean and those on the land, insects, plants of all kinds, including fruit and vegetables, flowers and much more brighten our day.
~
Yellow is one of the three primary colors.
~
So today I give tribute to the color yellow and all it represents.
~
May the color “yellow” live long and prosper!

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by,

Gorgeous photos Penny 🙂 I absolutely love yellow, always brings a smile to my face. It reminds me of buttercups, and as children we used to say that a person likes butter if their neck shines yellow when you place a buttercup under their chin. 🙂
What a delightful saying, sometimes to be a child again, yes? 🙂
Love your selections for yellow! All are so beautiful, bright, and cheerful. Thank you, Penny!
Thanks Amy, the color yellow ‘primary’ for a good reason! 🙂
Yellow is a harvest colour, a strange association for a sun starved Birt but there you go. There is a point about reaping and all that but you have probably worked it out already. It’s lovely to be getting the bright posts in preparation for a good spring. Yellow is the colour of hughs or shall be from now on.
Yellow is a primary color, so in the whole scheme of things SteJ, it shows up just about everywhere, but I did decide to focus on a brightness after focusing on a few heavy and more serious posts! 🙂
Beautiful yellows Penny! Yellow reminds me of spring as my yard has many shades of this color as life re-emerges! Hugs – B
Hi Barb, hugs to you also dear friend! 🙂
What a beautiful bright post to get us through a grey day! 🙂
Yellow is cheery isn’t it? 🙂
My friend Manny (may God rest his soul) loved the color yellow. I thought of him as I read your post and felt as if there was an invisible hand tapping me on the shoulders and whispering into my ears, ” I am right here, Loca.”
thank you
Ivonne
I am so glad Ivonne. Might I ask, unless it’s intrusive and if so I apologize, why he is calling you Loca?
Not intrusive at all, that was hi snick name for me because I am crazy and outrageous—it was a term of endearment—:)
ivonne
A wonderful term for a special lady! I like it very much! (:
Lovey post! Lovely thought… yes, yellow indeed is the color most people like. 🙂 More yellows to you thru 2013.
Great post
🙂
Happy New Year 2013… 🙂
Happy New Year Hilar, I hope yours has started out in a positive way for you and continues throughout the year my friend! 🙂
And for you too. I am happy to be your friend, a lot of things that I got from your blog. Your Posts are useful in my life …. 🙂
Thank you Hilal. I also am happy to be your friend. We can never have enough friends can we? I am sincerely pleased that my posts are of value to you! 🙂
You are right…. We can never have enough friends…..and always felt lacking to share something nice for a friend …. 🙂
yes! 🙂
What a great color – just not on me. I have yellow undertones & yellow makes me look jaundiced – LOL
Thanks for the bright post!
xx 🙂 🙂 xx
I have the same problem re: wearing yellow, only different skin tones from yours. I’m scandinavian pale,lol. So any bright color looks – well not flattering – I just look even more pale! Your welcome, it is a great cheery color, and I just love the yellow of daffodils that signal spring is around the corner here. 🙂 xox
refreshing, and such an important happy sunshine kind of color for anyone suffering from SAD!
🙂 Yes indeed!
wonderful! BTW did you see that you won a critique edit on my blog? I emailed you about the post…did you get it? http://roxieh.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/top-twos-day-the-winning-announcement/
Hi Roxie, I just apologized on your blog post for my oversight in not reading this any sooner. And I am embarrassed to say my email stays more clogged (in a good way) than I have figured out how to handle. Thank you so much again for the prize. I am actually quite pleased as have been seriously working on several writing projects so this is quite timely for me! I will email you if that is convenient for you re: specs. 🙂 Again my thanks!
you’re very welcome! thrilled for you, and when you find a way to clear your email pipeline, share it, I need to find the secret, LOL
I look forward to hearing from you soon 🙂
I know I can figure it out, pretty sure, well maybe …:), you will be hearing from me very soon indeed!
Yellow has always been a favorite guess because it is such a sunny color…bright and cheerful!
Yes it is Sharla, I agree, this time of year a very good thing! 🙂
