Mustard Yellow: Going Big and Bold or Just a Hint of Heat
They call me mellow yellow
Mustard yellow is just like its namesake, a sharp, tangy and tasty flavor that spices things up, but best kept as a condiment to the room’s overall decor. Mustard is a duller hue of yellow to your sunshine and daffodils yellow, but nonetheless has a special place in our hearts and by the hearth.
Check out our round up of mustard yellow decor that will add a little fire to your taste buds, or rather, flair to your interiors!
