- Type 1 Yellow – Isn’t yellow the happiest color in the world? Especially your yellows! They’re bright and full of “pop.” Join Jaleah and discover the world of yellow tint. Plus, can you tell just by looking at the rack which of these are not your Type 1 yellows?
- Type 2 Yellow – Can Type 2s Wear Yellow? Ever feel like your only option is gray? If you’ve felt this way, Anne’s here to expand your options and show you how to use gray to find your perfect Type 2 yellows.
- Type 3 Yellow – You have so many options when it comes to yellow. You can go with mustard, or more of a gold. Or how about a really light yellow shade? Sarah’s here to demonstrate all the ways you can add richness and vibrancy with yellow.
- Type 4 Yellow – It’s bold. As a Type 4 woman, you’re more naturally structured and analytical. Yellow, however, is the color of optimism and sheer joy.

Thanks for showing us Jaleah! And yay! I got the ‘wrong’ colors right :-), although I was a bit confused by the yellow on the dress. It looks pretty bold and at first I wondered if it was t4.
Thank you for another great lesson! I agree with Jeanine about the polkadots in the dress. They do look like type 4 yellow to me, but maybe the white in the dress tones it down enough??? Or maybe the video doesn’t quite show the difference in the yellows?
The type 2 yellow was a good lesson. I didn’t know they could wear yellow!
Thanks, Jaleah! I have a hard time separating T1 yellow and T4 yellow. The dress kind of confused me a bit. Everything about it was saying T1, except the color, which I saw as a T4. Maybe it was my monitor. Pinks, especially the darker tints, are another area where I get T1 and T4 confused. I’d love to have a video on pink. These are very helpful. Thanks for making them!
These are such great videos; holding up the color cards for the different types is especially useful because even if the video/our monitor shifts the colors a bit, we still see what harmonizes and what contrasts. (Next, please, purples and pinks. And browns/creams/neutrals.) 🙂
Yellow is one of my favorite colors, especially to wear! Thanks for showing all the options!
Excellent demonstration of getting the right yellow. I really like the way you incorporated the wrong yellows from all 3 other types, it makes the Type 1 yellow that much more clear and precise to the eye.
Love that T1 can wear darker yellows, I was not sure about that. For my entire life, pale yellows have made me look sick, so I have usually worn the type 4 yellows. Now that I am trying to stay true to my nature, you helped show me that I have a yellow I can wear! Thanks!
I know exactly what you mean! I love yellow but people would always ask me if I am feeling okay whenever I wore it!
Totally picked all 3 that were not Type 1 yellows! I, too, have loved yellow since I was a little girl! Woohoo for sunshiny yellow!!
Ok, so my whole life, I’ve been told I can’t wear yellow. As a result, I never even looked at yellow clothes when i went shopping. When I learned that yellow is sort of a signature color for Type 1s, I was really bummed. But, two days ago, I went shopping (end-of-season clearance is the bomb!), and I tried on some yellow tops. And I LOVED THEM!!! I bought two. I’m wearing one at work now, and I’ve gotten tons of compliments. Several people have said, “You look so sunshiny and happy!” I do! Because I am!!!! I’ve been dressing my truth for just 2 weeks, and it’s amazing.
I never liked how yellow looked on me before, but now I think it was because I was wearing type2 makeup and type4 hair color with it.
Yes, the 2,3,&4 jumped out at me as being distinctly out of place with the T1 yellows! Yeah!!! progress! I have previously only found one yellow I though I could wear…a medium ish clear, light/bright one. Now I will look at some others to see if I like them.
After reading some of the comments, I see I was not alone in having difficulty with finding a yellow that looked “right”. (I have also been told for most of my life to stay away from brighter colors because I am too heavy and should mostly wear darker colors so I would look smaller.
