"The Shakers knew a good trick: Paint your interiors in yellow and it'll look as though the sun is streaming in, even on grey days. Perhaps that's why we're noticing the palest of pale yellow all over the place. Just a hint more buttery than off-white or cream, it's a more diluted version than the butter yellow of the last couple of years-perfect for the color-shy."

Shakers used yellow interiors to make spaces feel brighter, as if sunlight were streaming in even on grey days. Pale yellow is now appearing widely, described as the palest shade—slightly more buttery than off-white or cream. It is positioned as a diluted version of butter yellow that suits people who want a subtle color change. Examples include a Tudor-style kitchen in northern California painted with Farrow & Ball’s Pale House No. 71, a Danish kitchen on Bornholm using pale yellow tones from Linolie & Pigment, and an English galley kitchen combining pale yellow with butter yellow. The next kitchen color set to take over is pale yellow.
