Yellow wall paint: Let the sunshine in

Effect of yellow as a wall paint

The effect of a yellow colour depends on its pigmentation. For example, there are yellow tones that appear warm and golden with their red pigments. Other yellow tones develop into intense spice tones when brown pigments are added. With a lot of white and a little green pigment, bright, lively yellow tones are created. Adding green, grey and brown pigments creates a soft mustard yellow. Each of these shades of yellow has a completely different effect on the respective room as a wall paint.

Yellow wall paints: Colour scheme for interiors

Two almost white yellow shades are the light shades White with Sun and White with Ginger. White with Sun also perfectly complements the warm Yellow with Sun. This radiant yellow tone creates light and warmth and literally makes the sun rise in any room. Yellow with Lemon is a strong, bright shade of yellow. This yellow goes particularly well with all shades of grey, especially if they contain green colour components. But a dark anthracite such as Black with Slate or a tangy White with Ginger also go well with this expressive yellow.

The rich Yellow with Saffron is a typical spicy shade. This colour shade creates an atmosphere of comfort in any room. In combination with a white ceiling, white doors and window frames, you can also use this interesting colour shade on all the walls in a room. Yellow with Saffron goes particularly well with dark wood furniture. It makes an interior with antique furniture look fresh and lively.

Light yellow tones for dark corridors

All dark rooms that have to make do without windows or whose windows face north benefit from yellow tones. Of course, this is especially true for interior corridors, which usually receive no natural light at all. If you choose a friendly shade of yellow for a corridor like this, you create brightness and spaciousness in what is actually a dark room. This creates an ambience in which all arriving guests can immediately feel at ease.

Yellow wall paints for lightness in the kitchen

The kitchen is usually a real meeting place in the home. It's also often where people eat. The kitchen should therefore radiate a cosy, inviting atmosphere. In addition, creative work, which undoubtedly includes cooking, is all the easier the friendlier the working environment is. With a yellow wall design, you can create a good basis for this.

Rough: Industrial living room in mustard yellow

You don't necessarily have to live in a loft. You can also design an industrial-style living room in a "normal" flat. The important thing is to choose the right materials and colours. Rough materials, iron furniture, untreated wood, lots of black and shades of grey create an interesting mix that really brings out the industrial style. Is that too gloomy and colourless for you? Then bring some fresh colour into your home with yellow. Use a mustard yellow for the industrial style. Wall paint in mustard yellow goes perfectly with a room with lots of iron, black and grey. This colour also adds a certain amount of cosiness to an interior. It may be enough to paint just one wall in mustard yellow. This already creates a friendlier ambience.

Wall paints: Yellow tones as a neutral alternative in the children's room

A child's room doesn't always have to be pink or sky blue. It is important to choose a colour in which the children, but also the parents, can feel really comfortable. Baby rooms and children's rooms are often not necessarily very large. Yellow colours are therefore particularly recommended. A wall paint such as LittlePomp chalk paintYellow & Creative is particularly gentle and suitable for small children. By using this soft yellow colour, you can make your child's room appear spacious and friendly.

What can I combine yellow tones with as wall paints?

Yellow tones are quite striking, expressive colours in themselves. That's why you should combine them with neutral colours. Combining them with grey tones is highly recommended. Make sure that the pigments contained in your yellow are also present in the grey of your choice. Sometimes a wall in the colour yellow can really brighten up an otherwise grey room.
