March 2021 Colour of the Month – Yellow



Our colour of this month is yellow. This is an uplifting colour evoking thoughts of spring, sunshine and daffodils. As a colour it brings joy and happiness into our homes and all around us in our natural surroundings.

Yellow can help us to feel optimistic and positive and often brings a warmth into a room scheme. It is an excellent choice for hallways, lobbies and rooms that do not have much natural light.

The Little Greene Paint Company Yellow-Pink (46)

Yellow is a colour that strongly affects our emotions and triggers a range of responses. This is dependant on the individual, the light, the setting and the tone or shade of yellow being used. It can sometimes even help us to feel more uplifted and confident.

Paints

Little Greene have an array of yellow paints to choose from. Yellow Pink (46) is a great example with its bold and deep tones used in the image above. This is a rich earthy Regency colour and provides a striking backdrop for a feature wall or for a complete room. The bolder yellow hues also include Mortlake Yellow (265) a warm golden tone and the brightest ‘older’ yellow, Mister David (47). These evoke the feeling of capturing the sunshine into your home. The more subtle tones of yellow include Little Greene Sunlight (135) and Lemon Tree (69). If you are looking for a more traditional yellow try adding Light Gold (53). This is a Victorian colour which adds a beautiful deep level of warmth to your room.

Wallpapers

Little Greene also offer a striking range of co-ordinating wallpapers. The Little Greene Belton Scenic Wallpaper in Sunbeam (Image 1) offers an uplifting continuous design of a Chinese garden party. If you would like a unique design statement for a feature wall or for the complete room, Little Greene Hencroft wallpaper in Punch from the National Trust collection (Image 2) is a perfect choice. It is based on stitched stylised design of repeated cowslips and will add a touch of sunshine to any room. Other stunning choices include Little Greene Sakura Wallpaper in Yellow Lustre from the Archive Trials collection (Image 3) and Little Greene Loriini Wallpaper in Dorian from Archive Trials 11. Lorinni is a classic 1930’s design featuring oriental blossom and Lory birds. This wallpaper makes a striking scheme paired with Little Greene’s Trumpet paint (196) applied to the woodwork (Image 4).
