Well, I'm a yellow person. Have a bright blue and yellow kitchen and it makes me happy just standing in it.
I also did my first childs room in pale yellow and he was the best baby and slept through the night no problem.
I use it tons in my quilts because it will coordinate with almost any other color if you have the right shade.
I use to think I couldn't work with black ( to depressing) but I am now working on a hot pink and black quilt and I'm loving it. I guess you just need to get the right combination for any color to make it work for you.
PS. I'm not bothered by all you yellow haters. You'll come around evidently. :-)
