When you think of yellow hues, do you think of flowering plants in the early days of spring, like yellow archangel, golden chain tree, hybrid witch hazel, forsythia, and yellow bird magnolia? Does it remind you of spring, as daffodils begin reaching through the sidewalk cracks? Does it remind you of summer, when you can finally start harvesting your yellow pear tomatoes and Irish gold tomatoes, and when lemon trees start blooming?

No matter what the color brings to your mind, Studio McGee, the beloved studio created by interior design superstar Shea McGee, is proving that one particular shade of yellow is going to be the perfect versatile shade for summer this year: creamy butter yellow.

“The color is sunny and relaxed without going full force into lemon territory, and the fact that yellow is a proven mood booster makes it the perfect choice for refreshing any space this summer,” the studio said in a press release, adding that the color has an incredible amount of versatility and timelessness, making it “the ultimate color of the season.”

Since color trends so often reflect more than your preference and reach their influence on our overall cultural mood, societal shift, and, of course, seasons, it’s no surprise that McGee would be having such a fun time with such a beautiful tone.

This hue strikes the perfect balance between sunny charm and relaxed refinement, embodying a timeless elegance that transcends fleeting trends while still partnering with a seasonal change. With its subtle warmth and inviting allure, creamy butter yellow has become a staple for Studio McGee's design repertoire this season.
