Just the mention of a color can be indicative of a mood; for instance, blue is supposed to be gloomy and yellow uplifting and bright. But this is not truly indicative of the color as blue can be bright and yellow dull depending on the shade of blue or yellow that you are considering. For instance, if you are considering the kind of yellow glow that comes to mind when you consider fabulous fireplace designs to make you feel warm, then yellow is a bright color. And if you are looking at yellow that can be seen in magical window flower box ideas and the flowers that bloom there then again it is a bright color.

But if you take up the color shade brown that comes under the yellow range like in the earthy and worthy art of pottery, then it is on the duller side.
