mustard yellow
Tangy golden hue
Mustard yellow is a warm, muted shade of yellow with brownish undertones, resembling the color of prepared mustard condiment.
It sits between golden and olive on the spectrum—earthier and less bright than lemon or canary yellow.
The color appears frequently in autumn fashion and vintage aesthetics: a mustard yellow cardigan, mustard yellow walls in a 1970s kitchen.
