Goldenrod Yellow Color Palette
A golden yellow with orange undertones, this hue feels like a sunny day. Pair it with other saturated colors like grass green, deep sky blue and chocolate brown for a rich, warm look.
Energizing Hue
The perennial plant goldenrod is valued for its healing properties; likewise, this invigorating color can revive a room. An electric yellow painting energizes this otherwise neutral entryway.
Cottage Charm
An antique quilt in a pattern of white and golden yellow served as the inspiration for this bedroom design. An antique four-poster bed, a Persian rug and an assortment of bright fabrics create a striking yet relaxed space to wake up in.
Splash of Color
This warm, sunny hue isn't just for country or cottage-style spaces: bold yellow cabinets add an energizing splash of color to this contemporary living room. Below, a modern white media cabinet helps balance and ground the space.
