Remember hearing in old western movies a cowboy say to another cowboy, “What’s the matter kid, are you yellow?” In other words, are you scared or a coward? When you read below about what the color yellow really symbolizes you may never think the same about the color again.
In the meaning of colors, yellow inspires us to think and to inquire about new things. Yellow brings out our creativity; it symbolizes change and inspires new ideas.
Mentally, yellow depicts loving a challenge and it is the best color to show your appreciation and zest for life which in turn will bring out your inner confidence!
Within the color spectrum, yellow is the “talker”, the communicator, the media personality who also analyzes both sides before making any decisions. Yellow also can be the entertainer, the life of the party and the class clown
ellow can often be impulsive and anxiety producing as it warrants a fast pace which can leave one feeling a bit agitated but also helps us focus and recall information as well.
When you look at yellow from an emotional standpoint it is non-feeling. In other words it comes more from the head than from the heart and prefers not to get emotional. Yellow is connected to our egos and how we feel about ourselves as well as how others see us.
Did you ever wonder why yellow is used in so many street signs like a school crossing sign, a school crossing guard vest or why buses are painted yellow? It’s because yellow is the most highly visible of all colors. So wearing yellow is a bit like saying to the world, “Hey, here I am check it out!” There’s nothing wrong with that, it oozes self-confidence to the world.
It’s possible if you are not drawn to the color yellow you could be going through change in your life and not interested in dealing with a color that attracts attention or may be too vibrant for you to handle, this will pass. Sometimes even choosing a slightly softer shade of yellow will be enough to handle rather than a more vibrant and bold shade of yellow.
Next time you are in a clothing store, look for something yellow and hold it up to yourself, see how you feel when you look in the mirror, you may notice you are instantly feeling more confident!
