* Sometimes we all feel like shouting, "I want to be free from all these obligations!" On such occasions, why not wrap yourself in a yellow cloth? You will certainly feel a sense of release, with all your worries disappearing like a cloud of mist. You will see that the window of your mind has now opened, with fresh air coming in. Don't doubt me, but simply try on yellow.
* Goethe, in his book on chromatics, classifies colors into positive and negative tones. The king of positive tones is yellow, and that of negative tones, blue. According to Goethe, yellow, representing brightness, cheerfulness, and liveliness, inspires us with a mild stimulus. In my view, yellow is an attractive and cute color, which also imparts an image of intelligence. You can take advantage of such favorable characteristics of the color best in interior decoration. If you have a small, dark, and somewhat gloomy room, use yellow to change the atmosphere entirely.

* I understand that "Yellow Handkerchief" is the title of a movie film featuring Ken Takakura. Do you know another type of "yellow handkerchief" used by wheelchair riders? They use yellow handkerchiefs as a sign that they need help. Why should they be yellow instead of any other color? The first reason is that yellow is a distinct color. Since human eyes recognize yellow in the central section of the retina, yellow handkerchiefs are attract attention easily. Next, psychologically, yellow represents fairness. The color implies that you should be "fair" enough to help the wheelchair riders, and that helping less fortunate people is not a charity, or a merciful act, but a deed of mutual cooperation.
* Since yellow is a bright and vivid color, excessive use of this color indicates the user's hidden desire to become conspicuous. Accordingly, I suggest that you be careful about the use of this simple color.
