Unabashedly Yellow: a mosaic contest

Slow down a minute, my friend, and ponder with me in color.

What is cheerful?  What is bold?  What is strong, yet simple; never cold?  What pop of color always makes a room shine?  What hue is a very, very favorite of mine?

Yellow.  Unabashedly, yellow.  So far from dull.

Dream with me a dream of yellow - - - a pop, a bucketful, a hint, a meadow.  Find yellow close to earth in warm taupe, rich brown, fresh green, summer peach.  Hello, yellow!  Center stage, as always.

A classic hue, primary at its best.  Pairs well with red, with blue (and all the rest).  Reserve yourself to stately schemes, add lots of neutrals.  Set sail, safe and at ease.

or, OR punch it up with gray like ice.  Mix in modern shapes, all the colors, everything you like!  Yellow layers, fearless of finding itself lost.  Irresistibly fun, dramatic, even.  However can you go wrong?

Which is why I so love yellow, actually - you can. not. go. wrong. It mixes well with ANYTHING.  It's too confident to be dissuaded by paltry matters of color theory.  And then another day, it comes on sweetly, with a charming note that belies its strength. 

Yellow.  Unabashedly, yellow.    My most versatile friend.
