Interior Trends: Yellow + Orange

Orange and yellow alone is something I associate more with the 60s - probably mostly due to a very funky orange and yellow chain my mother acquired at some point in the late 60s - but the 70s were earth-tones, absolutely. I hated earth-tones at the time (something I've gotten over in the interim) and I remember that it was very difficult to buy anything else. Orange, yellow/gold, brown, almond beige - those were the colors almost everything came in.

I agree. I had yellow and orange flowered wallpaper in the 60s. The 70s brought in more browns and olive greens. I feel a pallette coming on... :-)

Yes, yellow+orange reminds me of the 1970s almost without fail. Specifically, golden+rust+avocado+chocolate.

yellow and orange remind me of sunlit rooms. :) i don't know why.

They remind me of my mom.. They were her favorite colors.. And reminds me of the impact she has in my life. Thank you for sharing!
