The Colour of Happiness

Yellow is widely recognized as the happiest color in the world and comes with a scientific pedigree to back up this esteemed honor.

Research has suggested two main reasons why yellow is considered the happiest color.

Some of the key characteristics that are often associated with the color yellow include:

Attention-grabbing: Since yellow is the most visible color, it is also the most attention-getting color. Yellow can be used in a small amount to draw notice, such as on traffic signs or advertisements.

Difficult to read: Yellow is also the most fatiguing to the eye due to the high amount of light that is reflected. Using yellow as a background on paper or computer monitors can lead to eyestrain or vision loss in extreme cases.

Energetic: Yellow can also increase metabolism.
Frustration: Yellow can also create feelings of frustration and anger. While it is considered a cheerful color, people are more likely to lose their tempers in yellow rooms and babies tend to cry more in yellow rooms.

Warm: Yellow is a bright color that is often described as cheery and warm.
