Yellow is associated with freshness, happiness, positivism, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, recollection, intellect, honor, loyalty, and joy on one side, and cowardice and deception on the other. Yellow that is drab or dingy might symbolize caution, disease, or jealousy. Warmth, cheerfulness, enhanced brain activity, and greater muscle energy are all associated with the hue yellow, according to studies. Yellow activates memory, promotes communication, improves eyesight, boosts confidence, and stimulates the neurological system.

Creating art utilizing these processes will result in a work that successfully convinces the observer that there is depth when there is none! The power of imagination and color perception can be used to stimulate the brain's many senses.”
