Yellows and golds are vivid, energising and luxurious. The brightest hues in the colour spectrum, they are synonymous with the freshness of spring, happiness, sunshine, wealth and warmth.

In heraldry yellow indicated honour & loyalty, and in China it is the colour of royalty.

Dark yellows and gold-hues feel and compliment the antique and are often used in designs where a sense of permanence is desired.
