A vibrant yellow
Just like the classic American home bake after which it’s named, this vivid yellow has a homely feel that can’t fail to make you smile. Zingy hues like Yellowcake were incredibly popular in the 1960s, and still feel very much at home in the 21st century, especially as part of a bright mid-century modern scheme.

Perfect for Mid Century Modern House
I recently bought a 1965 split level. We are in the midst of restoring this house, and undoing some dreadful 1980's renovations. Our kitchen is North facing, and was in much need of a lift. In addition to replacing the cupboards with Ikea Abstrackt in gloss white, we painted the walls Yellowcake, and I am totally freaking out how utterly perfect it is with the gloss white cupboards. Gives a huge dose of character and modern charm to the entire house which is otherwise mostly painted Cornforth White / Ammonite.

A little ray of sunshine
This intense, acid-bright yellow is a perfect accent colour.
I have two chairs in my predominantly grey bathroom and I have painted one in Yellowcake and the other in Downpipe. The yellow is an unexpected 'pop' against the moodiness of the greys.
It's a colour that makes you smile.
