Pale Yellow

A pale yellow wash is so subtle it can seem almost transparent, as if you could put your hand to the wall and you might touch light itself. Pale yellow is, of course, an excellent choice for a summer cottage; it's the color of mid-summer, of lemon chiffon pies and lemonade in a big glass pitcher, swimming with ice. It's the color the air turns when you're out on the sandy beach and the sun is high in the stern blue sky.
