Amazing all the shades of yellow on vehicles!

  1. I have a contrary relationship with yellow. As a colour I appreciate its joyous appearance and how cheerful and uplifting it is, however I don't use it in my planting plans, I don't wear it, I only paint with it as tint to alter shades of green (water colours) I have very little of it in my décor. If I buy flowers - unless I have no choice, I tend to avoid yellow.😆

    1. Ah ha, an anti-yellow person you are! Quite interesting. And as I look around I see I also don't have it as part of my decor. So we can leave it to those strange cars out there, eh?

  3. I am sort of like Kate. I like seeing the yellow flowers, particularly now, but for the most part, it is not a colour that I would prefer to use. Strange.

  4. Yellow is certainly an attention grabbing color, isn't it?

    1. For me it's cheerful. I think of springtime, or even fall colors. I never knew others didn't particularly like it. Maybe it's connected to disease, or the thought of cowardice as being "yellow."

    1. As a bright reminder of sunshine, I'll take it, especially with flowers. I know some folks do their kitchens in yellow. Mmm, that would be too much I think.

  9. I love yellow, all shades. My living dining room is painted in many shades, from palest to medium. I wear it, too. Also yellow and white. As a friend said, oh, a fried egg!

    1. I'm chuckling about "fried egg" ! But having the right complexion for wearing yellow also is helpful, I think. I think it is prettiest in flowers in my life.
