The sun, pineapples, and bees. What do they all have in common? Each of these items is yellow. It's also on trend, yellow was recently crowned the color of Gen-Z, a departure from Millennial pink.

How do I choose the perfect yellow bedding?
The perfect yellow bedding isn’t really the right way to look at this. It has to be YOUR perfect yellow bedding. Pastel yellows like lemon or canary yellow fit well into more traditional or open spaces and work particularly well with white. The bolder yellows like sunshine or ochre are more versatile in that they can be matched with darker walls (think inky blues or emerald greens) as well as warmer tones (terracotta or clay-like colors). 'Go for more golden, mustard tones,' says Australian interior designer, Greg Natale.
The benefit of golden hues that Natale recommends is their ability to add a glow and sense of light to your interior without feeling as stark or predictable as white or cream. Once you’ve found your perfect yellow bedding, remember to consider how to keep your yellow burning bright by reading the care instructions. Specifically, if you’ve gone for yellow linen as it needs to be kept out of sunlight when drying to preserve its color.
