Welcoming
Color combinations using yellow-
orange or amber are the most welcoming.
Yellow combined with a small amount
of red creates these radiant hues which
are universally appealing. In full strength,
yellow-orange or amber can be likened
to gold or the precious spice saffron. A
monochromatic color scheme of saffron
used with white is one of classic beauty
and is very inviting.
Combinations made with pale amber
are warm and congenial. This hue can be
used in a variety of applications that call
for creamy tints to express festive and
cordial environments.
