For people who love it but can't wear it, and that's most of us, bright yellow
works well as part of your décor. It can be toned down and classic (think
legendary decorator Nancy Lancaster's buttery drawing rooms), but when it's
edgy and bold (as in a vibrant linen covering your granny's wing chair), the
color wakes up a room. It's great as an accent -- on pillows, in upholstery,
or in tableware. We love it paired with a tobacco brown, but it also perks up green, black, blue, and white. When this hue enters a room, it really shines.
