Yellow Week - Yellow Color Combo Inspiration:

September 20, 2011


Got this email from a blog reader, Emma, who suggested: "I think it'd be great to see how yellow can be styled with other colours." -- Emma, I totally agree! I hope this is what you meant ;) After doing some research for this post, I have decided that I love yellow even more now! Why you ask? Because yellow really does look good with everything! For example: love how good Emma Stone looks (even with red hair) in a yellow dress! What do you think? I've never done color inspiration like this at the blog so I had a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy today's yellow inspiration!

I think seafoam mint/green is definitely up there with yellow on my list of favorite colors. So when put together, it makes for a pretty amazing combo!

The yellow & grey combo can never get old.. these were our wedding colors!

I'm not a huge fan of red, but I love how it can be with yellow here, without looking like McDonalds or something!

There is something so soothing and tranquil about yellow & blue. It makes me want to go sit by the seashore and read a book.

Yellow & Brown .. Kind of a cool combo? Like a honey bee! There is something really vintage about yellow & brown. I'm a fan!

Now I'm not the biggest fan of pink.. infact, I never buy or wear pink.. anything! But leave it to yellow to make this color somewhat appealing for me ;) ps: I took the fabulous collage of images directly from you are my fave!

This is such an amazing idea! Way to go Emma for suggesting it. I literally love every color pairing that I simply can't choose. Too much awesome eye candy to favor one over the other for me. Great job organizing this Danni!

Yellow and Seafoam - beautiful. Mustard and Dusty Pink - Lovely. Yellow and Gray - classic. Really all of these combos are great (even the yellow and red, which normally reminds me of fast food colors).

oh danni i totally love all your combos and I love especially the last one! i am pink obsessed, i really like it and i made this combo one in a necklace (light pink, yellow on a gray fabric background!)

I've been set on Yellow & Grey for my living room (a grey sofa paired with that incredible yellow loveseat I showed you)... but seeing your Yellow & Brown collection I might change my mind! Would certainly be easier to match with frames/ wooden tables, etc.

AH, decisions! :)

I can really see all the hard work you've put into your yellow week with this post. All the color combinations, and the exact right pictures to go with each one is spot on. Amazing examples Danni! And it makes me smile as I write this comment in my mustard yellow cardigan and teal skirt! #yellowaddict

Danni, since I follow you I learned to appreciate the yellow...
you're right, goes with every color, wow
I love mustard with brown in clothes and shoes
but the yellow and seafoam is gorgeous!

Rebecca said...

What a fun post!!! Loving the yellow and seafoam and the mustard and dusty pink. I always forget how well yellow with pink works.

LOVE this yellow roundup - you totally showed that yellow really does look good with everything :)

All the color combos are pretty, but I think I like the seafoam/yellow, grey/yellow & blue/yellow the best (plus I was so excited to see the blue & yellow earrings linked to my blog!)

Anyway, I really loved this color inspiration & I love your blog!

Yellow looks especially good on redheads! All the yellows, from lemon to deep mustard, and all the greens are made for gutless with red hair!

And as fir decorating with yellow, it's such a happy colour that you need some of it in every room...
