Summer - a time when you can afford to relax and instead of the usual beige-gray-black office dresses try at last something juicy, bright, bold. One of the most actual colors of the summer is yellow - the color of the sun, gold and childhood.
In this article, we'll talk about the various shades of yellow, and also tell you about the combination of yellow with other colors.
Shades of yellow
Yellow is one of the three primary colors. Mixing with other colors, it can acquire a warm or cold shade. So, the admixture of red makes the yellow closer to the orange (warmer), and the addition of the blue brings it closer to the green (cold) one. The best temperature of shades is determined by comparison: put two pieces of fabric of different shades of color next to each other, and you will immediately understand which one is warmer or colder.

Cold shades of yellow are perfectly combined with other cool shades - blue, scarlet, azure, ash gray.
Warm colors are better combined with soft orange, carrot, lilac - almost any warm shades. The combination of rich yellow and green, although it is quite bright, is undesirable in clothes. You do not want to look like a parrot? But pastel shades of these colors are combined very well. This creates a gentle, very romantic image with notes of spring mood.

Light shades of yellow also blend well with all neutral tones - white, gray, beige and pastel shades.

Color combination - yellow
The yellow color itself is rather bright, and most often in the image it appears as an accent, an addition to the basic tone. If you decide to make yellow the "first fiddle" of your image, do not be too lazy to pick up the other "participants".
One of the most actual techniques of this summer is the combination of several shades of the same color. Remember to separate warm shades from cold ones. It is also desirable to determine your color pattern to understand which of the temperature palettes you are following.

In a business image, combine yellow with gray, brown, beige, ash pink. It is better to use muted shades of yellow. Bright, rich-yellow shades (canary, lemon) are better to use as small accents. Remember that even such a trifle as a bright yellow neck scarf or dress with cuffs of lemon color may not comply with the rules of the corporate dress code. Specify this in advance.
