Make a statement with mustard color.
The world of interior design today offers new and attractive examples of how to make a statement with mustard color. Accent walls and other pops of color in throw pillows, picture frames, lamp shades, and embroidered upholstery all show mustard’s power to draw eyes. The color mustard offers a rich but tasteful yellow that is more golden than it is flowery.
Mustard color versus gold.
The color mustard is similar to a matte version of gold. Mustard color isn’t glittery, but this gold-like association is particularly beautiful when used in patterns or overlays atop dark complementary colors like navy. Mustard color has a history of representing gold and evoking wealth in art, design, fashion, and décor.
Tap into the psychology of the color mustard.
Mustard color isn’t quite like other yellows. The color mustard is warm and can inspire feelings of optimism, but its dullness takes the intensity of yellow down a notch. Mustard color provides a more creative sense of optimism, like the inspiration pouring out of the golden rays of the setting sun.
Combine mustard with other colors.
The color mustard combines with its complementary color (navy blue) for a striking contrast. Other blue palettes pair beautifully, too, such as cornflower blue or teal. Next to emerald green or sage, mustard color evokes an earthy feel. In a palette with light pinks like puce, the color mustard looks more gold-like than ever.
