We All Live in a Yellow Submarine

I found this image a long while ago and always loved this combination of yellow and white. I like it because its utilitarian, its techno and retro in one. Its neon and makes an impact.


These swatches of green are by Wattyl. They made the shortlist as a feature colour I wanted to use in the bedroom.


The colour we opted for was Perfect Flower. Its shockingly bright from the paint tin and after the first coat on the wall it just looked like fluro yellow! Now that we have finished off the third coat (The instructions say two but it really needed three for a totally streak free finish) It's worked out exactly the way I thought.



Here's a couple of shots of the finished result. What I love about this colour is how it almost glows at times. Its in a sneaky corner in our bedroom where half the wall is behind the door. The colour changes so much depending on how the light hits it at different times of the day. Sometimes it looks golden, at other times more like a deep lime green.

PS: That bedroom door is original and its life is just about over. Its been over-laquered, its got flaked bits and chips, dints and paint flecks on it. It's catching on the frame and scraping off paint on the architraves.
