Yellow is reserved only to people of high rank in many African nations, because of its close resemblance to gold, which is universally associated with money, quality, and success. Egyptians also closely associate yellow with gold, which was commonly used to paint mummies and tombs before the deceased were sent to the afterlife, making it symbol for mourning.

Yellow is the colour of the SS16 season. Bright sunshine, lemon, mustard -- name a shade of yellow and it appeared at the spring showcases back in September 2015. The designers did not just stop at block, look-at-me colours either. Nay, yellow was splashed on snakeskin, satin, floral chiffon, lace and beading.

What's mysterious, ambiguous, inexplicable. What doesn't fit into a story, what doesn't have a story. Glint of brightness on a barely-there chain. Patch of sunlight on a yellow wall. The loneliness that separates every living creature from every other living creature. Sorrow inseparable from joy.

Whenever I've worn yellow, people seem to take notice and smile. I had a bright yellow winter coat through college that inspired the friendly homeless to sing "I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day..." whenever I walked by, quickening my pace. (Bad example?) And I sometimes wear a yellow dress from Target that always collects compliments, especially on rainy, muggy days. Yellow is an optimistic color, sunny and bright.

Yellow is what some may suggest, RISKY. It's one of those colours that everyone is slightly too nervous to wear regularly or even at all. However, this spring demands a risk-taking need for neon colours in your wardrobe, meaning yellow is a MUST. Even if it's a yellow rucksack or pair of socks.

Yellow speaks of imagination. It is extensively used in food industries because of its familiarity. The eye notices the highly reflective yellow before it perceives any other colour thus pale yellow is an excellent choice for instant product purchase.

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

"Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree"


Yellow is a color that helps us remember the past. Think of all the things we Westerners associate with the color yellow: our phone book's yellow pages, the yellow school bus, and yellow legal pads. Yellow is the color of history, memory and learning. It represents friendship and mutual respect. Sunny yellow comes in a multitude of shades, ones we can use to bring light into our lives.

There's times when you'll think that you mightn't,

But the things you will learn from the Yellow an' Brown,
They'll 'elp you a lot with the White!

There seems to be something about the color yellow that inspires some of television's most terrifying villains. The Devil With Yellow Eyes follows in the footsteps of The Man With The Yellow Eyes from Supernatural and The Yellow King from True Detective. It's clear that yellow is NOT a color to be trusted.

Yellow is also often associated with food and used in children's products and marketing ads aimed at children. Last year, the Pantone Color Institute announced a new hue: "Minion Yellow" after the hit children's film, "The Minions." The color came out of a partnership with Pharrell Williams, who penned the infectious hit song, "Happy" for the "Despicable Me" movie series. "Just as the sun's rays enliven us, Pantone Minion Yellow is a color that heightens awareness and creates clarity, lighting the way to the intelligence, originality and the resourcefulness of an open mind -- this is the color of hope, joy and optimism," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Institute.
