Yellow, like other warm colors is an attention getter, but it is also the most difficult color for the eye to take in. It is the most optimistic and happy of colors. A person in a heavy yellow environment will truly feel optimistic as this color actually triggers the brain to release seratonin. Yellow enhances concentration. But on the other hand a heavy yellow environment can also cause tempers to flare more easily. Babies will cry more in a yellow room. Yellow also speeds one's metabolism.
Yellow is representative of laughter, joy, hope, sunniness, health, summer. Yellow can be a sign of frienship, but it is also associated with betrayal, cowardice, dishonesty, sickness in other circumstances. In the Far East, yellow is sacred.
Yellow is a primary color. It's complementary color is purple. Yellows's analogous colors are orange and green.
