And they were all yellow!!

Yellow is the color evoked by light that stimulates both the L and M (long and medium wavelength) cone cells of the retina about equally.


There are some colors that, upon seeing, stimulate something in your brain that makes you feel wonderful - hence your favorite color. When I was young, I think that color was pink (I know....how cliche) - I am not sure why but it just made me feel good. Yellow on the other hand, has always been one of those colors that has never really inspired me. But lately, I have been finding myself so into yellow! I am not sure if I would call it my favorite color, but I am quite enjoying it for the moment!!


Here are some images of yellow that I am loving!! Doesn't she look fabulous in this perfect yellow cardigan (love the buttons in the back) and this Proenza Leather Satchel is to die for!! Plus, I love the sunshine inspired painting!!! What colors are inspiring you?? Do you have a favorite color??
