What does the colour yellow mean to you?

Yellow is saffron suffusing rice with colour and flavour and the taste of Easter buns. Yellow is Winter Flowering Jasmine on a grey winter morning.

Yellow is the daffodil planted as one of the memorials for my father; yellow is the colour of the raincoat that he wrapped around my shoulders to protect my wedding dress as we left for a different church in earlier years.

Yellow is a sunrise and a sunset a new begining each day.

I don't know that it means much to me. But it was the poet Emily Dickinson's favorite color (I did my thesis on her work) and a psychiatrist friend told me it was also the favorite color of the seriously mentally ill. I do not think Emily was a nutcase, tho. Come to think of it, I painted my livingroom pale yellow. Owch.

I see yellow as I see all colors. It definately depends on the medium or the pallet it is involved with. My brain follows a very positive path usually, so as I read the question: I feel very motivated.

Yellow makes me smile. Yellow is a very warm color and reminds me of sunshine. Yellow is the color of happiness and joy. It also is an attention getting color.

Yellow is love. My Mother's favorite color was yellow. She wore yellow when she married my Dad. My beloved grandson's favorite color is yellow. Given a choice every shirt he owns would be yellow. They love/d yellow and I love them. Yellow is love

Yellow means sunny and cheerful, happy and jolly.

I've never liked Easter because it's somehow too yellow. And I can't wear yellow because it makes me look jaundiced. People who wear a lot of yellow are always so 'pseudo-sunny'. Yellow hair is just badly bleached --

I think I ought to do something about my attitude towards yellow, having read the other answers here ...

The color yellow is warm...when I think of it, I think of the sun.

Mellow Yellow - reminds me of something beautiful. At the end of every dark tunnel, there is a yellow light. Yellow for the light that gives HOPE. Your face lights up yellow when you smile. No, not the yellow teeth, and definetly not the yellow-jaundice skin! Lol. :)

To me, yellow is bright and bold and has no shadow to it. I see a smile radiating with warmth and brilliance.

I feel drawn to it and energized by it. Variations of the color yellow have a similar effect on me in that the colors have meaning and draw me towards them and I associate them with memories of sunny days or creamy cake batter and soft margarine spread over biscuits with my Grandma. I also relate the color yellow to Easter and Spring. The bright color of yellow makes me able to focus and concentrate better because it is an attention grabber and it is an easy color to see and recognize.

Yellow reminds me of Mcdonalds, and there delicious yellow French Fries that are great dipped in honey mustard.

The color yellow reminds me of my parents because their house is painted yellow. When their neighbors painted their house yellow, my mom sent my dad to the store for a brighter yellow paint. Yellow is a sunny, bright color and it makes me smile to think of my parents house.

Its the colour of my favorite soccer team AEK of athens-A greek team with 80 yrs of soccer history in Greece and a lot of fans in CYPRUS,USA,AUSTRALIA,GERMANY...About the colour i think that some shades of it are wonderfull.Psycological they say its the colour of jealousy.It calms you.Does not tire your eyes.

Sunlight, wonderfully bright,

sunflowers baking in the sun and sleeping at night,

daisies dancing in a warm breeze,

roses with the fragrance of ease,

warmth on a winter day,

cheer of children at play,

calm as an infant in slumber.

Yellow, the color that will never encumber!

The colour yellow to me would mean...

The warmth of the blissful radiant sun, the dehydrating sands of the desert and last be not least a colour stands out, appeals and attracts people's attention. Such as road sign which have a yellow background. Not ensure that the sign simply stands out, so it's noticeable.

To me, yellow can be a time machine or a mood altering fantastical adventure. Golden yellow can take me back to the rusty-iron smell of well water or the scent of homemade doughnuts--it was the color of my grandmother's kitchen...

Yellow can alter my mood in the blink of an eye wether it be the sunny-yellow of a sunflower along with the scent of late summer baking into my children's hair or the smooth, creamy yellow of banana pudding or banana cream pie.

Yellow is the color of clarity and intelligence. It is the warmth of sunshine and illumination. Yellow is my favorite color.

The colour yellow means "happy" to me. It's bright, and reminds me of the sun. It's also very carefree, and screams out joyfully to the world. I think nothing is complete without a tad of yellow!

Yellow reminds me of myself. When I read the word yellow, I picture childhood drawings I would make of myself and I always had a head full of bright yellow hair.

I have been blonde my entire life & have almost created a connection with that color in my mind.

It is cheerful, and makes me think of sunflowers, which are my favorite flower. The bright sunlight, and the promise of summer. So it means cheerfulness, summer, and good times!

Yellow is my favourite colour and to me yellow means bright and youthful

Yellow is my father. It's the happy memories of childhood. The sun, stars, and sunflowers. Yellow is the glow that surrounds my love and I. It's smiles and laughter of people. Yellow to me it's just a color but warm feeling in my belly. =)

yellow means joyfulness. its the feeling of flowers blooming during summer and birds singing in the morning. yellow means freedom from anything that stresses out one person. yellow means being carefree.

For me yellow is the color of jelousy! I always felt this way.And also the color of the fall which bring us melancoly and sadness.It is definitely not my favorite color.

The color yellow is a plague to us all. keep reading →
