What does the color yellow mean?
The color of the sun, yellow is also the color of gold and wheat: it evokes wealth, power and abundance. Very warm, it stands for joy, good spirits and celebration, and symbolizes human warmth and the bonds that unite us. It is a stimulating color that lifts the mood.
Yet it has a flip side: betrayal, deceit and jealousy. Some people still avoid it for fear of being betrayed. As the color of the desert, it can also evoke a certain dryness of the heart.
👉 In the Middle Ages, painters often dressed Judas in yellow: this is where its Western reputation as the color of betrayal comes from. In China, by contrast, imperial yellow was reserved for the emperor.
