Yellow is one of the best colours in interior design and also one of the most delicate as it is a primary colour. The right shade of yellow brings cheer to dreary rooms. Some bright yellows, however, cause people pain in interior design.

Colour is all around us and different colours have affect on our moods, emotions, and appearance in different ways. Your eyes, hair, and complexion are your body harmony colours. You should wear colours that complement these natural colours. Wearing the right colours enhances your image and makes you look refreshed, younger, and thinner. Wearing the wrong colours will make you look tired and will emphasise dark under eye circles, wrinkles, and imperfections.
