Psychology

Mid yellow is simultaneously cheerful and attention-grabbing — used where things need to be noticed.

History

Indian Yellow, a pigment used in Mughal miniature painting, was produced from the urine of mango-fed cows — an extraordinary material history hidden behind a simple hue.

Design use
