There's just something about pairing yellow with gray that I absolutely love! I looked into the psychology of each color and after reading a little about each one, it makes sense how one can really balance the other.
- GRAY: Used well, the color gray can lend interiors an elegant formality that is subtle without being overly conservative. It is the color if you want to create an air of calm, understated confidence.
- YELLOW: Is often described as an optimistic, life-affirming color that reminds us of sunshine and stimulates our mind, body and emotions.
The outcome can vary from mellow and sophisticated to bold and outrageous, depending on what tone of yellow & gray you use and how you combine the two. I also like seeing a pop of bright white or black for contrast. What do you think of this color scheme? Could you live with it? Please share!
What a great color combo.

I LOVE this color scheme! I have been thinking of pairing these colors in my living room.
ReplyDeleteI love grey and yellow when it is done right!
ReplyDeleteas someone who grew up in the 80's, the only colour that anyone teamed with grey was burgundy....so when i was redecorating my bedroom as a teen in the same era and asked for grey and yellow, everyone was horrified. i went with my gut, it looked amazing. and still today it is a colour scheme i adore. the first and last pics you have chosen are my faves. bring on yellow and grey. i think it is beautiful. x
ReplyDeleteI love that color combination. Once we close on our house, gray will be the color of the house with yellow accents. Now to find the perfect silvery gray. Do you have any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, so full of wonderful inspiration.
I think this is great for wearing too!
ReplyDeleteI am so a grey and yellow fan.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely my favorite color combo!
ReplyDeleteevery last one of these images is amazing!! i guess you could say i love this color combination.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. When I started examining gray bedrooms on my blog I came to the realization that they totally need a pop of citrus to look modern and happy!

ReplyDeleteI love love love this combo! I'm currently living with it & loving it! Greay is the perfect neutral and yellow is the perfect pop of happy. I think in winter I may swap the yellow for wine but we'll see ;)
