Yes, yellow can be mellow -- or exuberantly bright, richly golden or soft and lemony.

Yellow is the color of spring's first crocuses and narcissus pushing up through the soil to signal an end to winter and the rebirth of color. What could be more hopeful than that? Yellow is how children draw the sun -- it's how we visualize warmth, which is what it brings to a room. A touch of yellow brightens any scheme and marries well with other colors -- green, blue, red or neutrals. While a roomful of bright yellow would be blinding, splashes of yellow, or more muted shades of gold, honey or lemon custard provide a sunny, cheering welcome in a hallway or kitchen, living room, bedroom or bath -- and we've picked the perfect yellows for you. From our "Rise and Shine" rug to "Sun Kissed" it's easy to see why yellow always has a place in our hearts.
