The Short and the Sweet of It: Mustard Yellow

Mustard Yellow

Posted by Alexa

2/5/13

Kirby and I have a soft spot for yellows. Many times we think of yellow as bright and cheery and spring-like...but I'm kind of loving the sultry glamorous look of mustard yellow these days. Paired with greys you get a sharp mid-century look, with a bright pop of pink: a fun and flirty look and with browns and navy blue you get a deep, rich and warm color combination, perfect for warming up a room!
