What do you think of the colour yellow?

[Swede]

Cars are ok. Clothes,walls etc not so much. In nature it's nice.

[Steerpike]

1. I can say

that I'm curious...

[cloudbase]

10. Givin' away your age with that one. n/t

[Captain Hilts]

2. Can't wear it. But I am thinking of painting a wall a deep yellow.

Kind of a Kremlin yellow.

Friends are trying to talk me out of it.

[MrCoffee]

3. A suffusion of yellow is quite lovely.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. I think I really prefer to color blue.

[GoCubsGo]

22. Those two are my favorite color combinatioin..

A bright yellow with a cobalt-leaning blue...lovely! Great colors for a kitchen.

[pink-o]

29. Tre Provencal! n/t

[blue neen]

5. I love it!

It cheers me up! :)

[Duer 157099]

6. Bees love it. Me, not so much. For that reason

I love bees, as a concept. Just don't want them buzzing around me and freaking me out.

One of the major triumphs in my life was when a bee flew into my car while I was driving, and I had to keep my cool for several minutes until I could pull over safely. I still can't believe I did that. I have an autonomic freak-out response to bees.

No yellow for me.

7. It looks good on sapsuckers

:shrug:

[lunatica]

21. lutefish, I've been meaning to tell you your posts attract gnats

Here's some gnat killer

8. We painted our Civil War era house in NW lower MI lemon yellow

with slightly darker yellow trim, in '69, and a few years later, nearly half of the houses in that small town were painted some shade of yellow as well. It looked especially nice in the fall with all of the trees around it with their leaves having turned yellow, orange and red.

[Inchworm]

9. Makes good music

I'm in "up" so I can't listen.. but I know it's good :)

:hi:

[kentauros]

11. I like it but can't stand "colour"!

:P

[peacefreak]

12. Were you shopping with me today?

I found a pair of yellow curtains with blue flowers at the thrift store. Something about yellow in the kitchen pleases me.

[pokerfan]

13. Proof

QED

[petronius]

14. I think it should come with a caution warning

I'd say no to cars and clothes, but it can be successful on walls and houses (if done properly), and of course sunflowers and smiley faces get a pass...

[Manifestor_of_Light]

15. Nope.

When I was young i suffered through the phase of Harvest Gold, Avocado Green, and blazing orange on everything.

[tango-tee]

17. Ack!

I recall that phase. Shit, I'm getting old.

[Fridays Child]

16. Good for daisies. Bad for the whites of eyes.

That's what I think. :hi:

[Radical Activist]

18. It's the color of Satan's kitchen.

[tango-tee]

19. It all depends on the shade of yellow.

There is such a range: The lovely, barely-there hint of yellow in some white wall paints to warm them up, all the way to screaming neon patent-leather boots which nearly make you go blind.

I like touches of a deep golden yellow in parts of the house facing north, but if I wear yellow anything I look as if I had been on an all-night bender. And not just one night.

[Roon]

20. I used to drive for yellow cab

The founder of the first yellowcab company paid some study to find out what color sticks out the most on the streets.

It was yellow.

[GoCubsGo]

23. It depends on the shade of yellow...

Lighter shades, such as a light butter yellow, for clothes, walls, etc. can be quite nice, actually. For clothes, it would be fine for a dress in any shade. Or, if you wore one article of clothing (blouse, shorts, shirt) with other colors, it would be okay. Too much of it is overwhelming.

[Lyric]

24. Love it in nature, hate it everywhere else.

[hippywife]

25. In nature it IS nice.

And the bold school bus yellow of my chicken eggs is very good. But that's as far as I go.

Yellow, orange, blue, and pink are colors I avidly avoid in clothes and the like.

:hi:

[applegrove]

26. I used to love it. Now a sorta mustard yellowish thing is everywhere. On clothes.

On the graphics of CBCnewsnetwork. I'm sick of it. I only ever liked the lemon yellow anyhow.

[Tikki]

27. The exterior of small homes look welcoming in a paler yellow...

But the interior walls...not so much my taste.
I have one son who looks amazing in yellow and wears it often..

I believe all children under age 10 should wear as much of bright colors as they
want to wear...after that only a few will dress that brightly again.

28. Yellow makes me mellow...

And that reminds me of Donovan:

And it makes me thirsty:

30. My skin is pink.

I look awful in beige, yellow or brown. I'm very fair skinned and have hazel eyes.
Those colors make me look drab and dead.

I look better in pink, coral, red, muted green that matches my eyes, or shades of blue, or black.

[Xipe Totec]

31. Presumptuous

You have to be real cocky to wear yellow.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

32. I like sunshine on my old bones. Feels good.

:)

[AsahinaKimi]

33. I happen to like YELLOW ...

and it just looks good on some people..

[madmom]

34. My kitchen is kind of a mustard yellow with dark red accents, very warm.

[Skittles]

35. piss

36. The King in Yellow - Robert W. Chambers

Very Very Good.

[Swede]

40. Love it!

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen

In Carcosa


Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is


Lost Carcosa


Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in


Dim Carcosa


Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in


Lost Carcosa


-Cassilda's Song in 'The King in Yellow'
Act I. Scene 2.

37. It's not red enough

Other than that it's okay.

39. I was watching the movie The Rocker yesterday...

...and in the movie this canary yellow Hummer stretch limo pulls up and someone says, "Look! It's a school bus for assholes!"

Not sure what this adds to the coversation, though...

EDIT: Okay. I'll add this. Cars? No. Clothing? Yes, but only on teenage girls.

[Dystopian]

41. I know

that yellow does not wear well from the inside....

My kitchen is yellow:D

peace~
