Now yellow is not everyones favourite colour.. Why is that? Probably because you have been wearing the wrong yellow. Orange is the only colour that does not have a WARM AND COOL. Every other colour can have blue added to it to make it cool, or blue ot make it cool.

When you add yellow to orange it just makes it amber or just warmer and when you add blue to orange you get brown.

Now, sunshine were a colour, it would be Butter Yellow — soft, creamy, and beautifully uplifting. This season, it’s everywhere — on flowy linen shirts, summer knits, and accessories that bring instant warmth without being loud.

✨ How to wear it:Pair it with white or cream for a clean summer look, or mix it with sage, coral, or mocha for depth.

🎨 Try these combos:

Butter Yellow + White + Gold → simple, elegant, and timeless.
Butter Yellow + Sage Green + Cream → natural and calming.
Butter Yellow + Coral + Tan → playful and warm.
Butter Yellow + Mocha + Blush → feminine and chic.

This gentle shade loves warm undertones and sunshine skin — it’s the perfect “mood booster” colour.

Now did you know Colours have ENERGY?

yep, the energy of colour refers to the emotional and psychological influence each colour carries — how colour affects our mood, perception, and the energy we project. Colours fall into four key energetic families that shape how we feel and how others respond to us

🔴 Power Energy

Represents assertiveness, authority, and confidence.These colours command attention and show leadership — ideal when you want to own a room or influence outcomes.

Examples: Tomato red, espresso brown, deep terracotta, golden mahogany.

🟠 Excitement Energy

Symbolises creativity, warmth, and social visibility.These are uplifting, expressive colours that spark joy, connection, and enthusiasm — perfect for networking, events, or creative work.

Examples: Coral, peach, golden yellow, marigold, warm turquoise, copper, bright gold.

🔵 Compassion Energy

Embodies trust, empathy, and openness.These colours make people feel comfortable and heard, helping you connect authentically and communicate with ease.

Examples: Soft peach, blush, warm rose, light apricot, honeyed cream, dusty coral.

🟢 Harmony Energy

Reflects groundedness, calm, and stability.These tones are earthy, natural, and restorative. They project balance, approachability, and reassurance — ideal for teaching, coaching, or times of reflection.

Examples: Olive, warm sage, caramel, camel, bronze, soft white, antique gold.

In essence, colour energy is communication.We don’t just wear colour — we emit it. Light, bright, and warm tones project energy outward (advancing), helping us be seen, while dark, muted, or cool tones pull inward (receding), creating calm and depth.By understanding these energies, you can consciously choose colours that express how you want to feel — and how you want to be received
