While white is one of the colors that go with yellow, it's yet another example of the nuance that matters when it comes to teaming a color and white. In this instance, you need to pay attention to both the shade of yellow and the undertone of the white.
"Bright yellow doesn't work with cool white due to the stark contrast, which can feel jarring and too bold," explains interior designer Mike Brown, lead visual at Dania Furniture and Scandinavian Designs. "The brightness of yellow disrupts the calmness of cool white."
But there is a yellow and cool white combo you can opt for instead. "Try mustard or soft yellow, which provide a warmer, more balanced contrast," says Mike.
There is also a further option: you could switch whites. A warm white paired with yellow is a winner if you want to optimize the coziness of a room.
