"Sort of yellow - this is kölsch, which is the beer of Cologne, Germany, where I did my study exchange. Was excited and surprised to find a place brewing it in NZ!"

Water Bowl

Anonymous

“My dog’s water bowl is yellow and every time she needs water she brings me the bowl. I think it’s cool because it shows how smart she can be but also how mischievous she can be. If we don’t realise she needs water she will bite the bowl (hence the chew marks around the edge).”

Kōwhai

Anonymous

"While being in lockdown in Tauranga I have noticed that lots of people have kōwhai trees planted outside their houses. Every time I go out for a walk I have kept an eye out for these yellow flowers have blossomed. For weeks there were no kōwhai flowers in sight until one day I looked up. Towering over me was the biggest kōwhai tree I have ever seen with the yellow flowers all blossoming.”

"This is Zoe's favorite tennis ball. I bought her a whole pack of different coloured ones but she loves the yellow one the most. In fact, when we play fetch with the other coloured tennis balls, she immediately drops it and tries to find the yellow ball."

“This is a black and yellow marble art piece I made with my friend a while back. A bit of a learning curve at first, but it was a lot of fun just getting to play around. By the time we got to this point in our process we’d found our rhythm! Yellow is such a fun and vibrant colour. This piece is probably one of my favourites of the lot.”

Happiness Project

Jenna Mikus

Anonymous

"This book is one I picked up years ago on a whim at one of my favorite local bookstores at home in DC. At the time, I was newly engaged, enjoying my work, and quite happy but was curious to learn about Rubin’s Happiness Project. Since this book and others like it, I have decided to balance my work with academic research relating to designing for human flourishing (a balance of health and happiness). Just one example of how a random read shifted the trajectory of my life. It now figuratively and literally supports my work/research (i.e., my laptop)."

"I bought this nail polish in Taiwan for about 50cents from the clearance bin, and I didn't understand why no one else wanted it. Yellow is such a beautiful colour, yet it was discarded to the clearance bin? Unbelievable. Years later, it found itself paired with this yellow-spined picture book that was found in a closing down sale. Yellow snaps my attention wherever I look, and always finds its way back into my home."
