Blue, white, and yellow  color palette – a trio that’s more versatile than a Swiss Army knife and twice as cheerful! It's a color combination that sings of sunny days and happy memories, lending itself to a fun, retro feel adding a crisp brightness to your designs!


Blue: The Cool Cat of Colors

Let’s start with blue, the Cool Girl of hues. It’s the kind of color that strolls into your Kitsch-en (see what I did there 😉?) with a tin of good tea to share with the girls, leaning against your fridge like it owns the place. It’s cool, it’s classic, and it says, “Hey, I’m elegant, but I’m also playful”

White: The Best Friend

Next up, we have white – the crisp, clean canvas that lets the other colors shine. It’s like the perfect girlfriend, setting up the punchline for a joke that blue and yellow will deliver. White is our hero and cherished friend of the palette, the fresh linen on the line that makes you say, “Ah, that’s the stuff.”

Yellow: The Zesty Zinger

And then there’s yellow – the zesty zinger, the lemon in your lemonade, the sunshine in your sunflower. She's the color that pops, fizzes, and brings the fun. Yellow doesn’t just enter a room; it bursts in, scattering rays of light like confetti at a parade.


 


 

A Palette That Plays Well Together

Put these three together in various hues and values, and you’ve got a color palette that’s ready to throw a retro bash with modern flair. Blue and White with a touch of Yellow is perfect for May. The combination still rings of Spring but has look forward to Summer!
