Barely Banana
Stampin' Up!® Color

Basic Information

  • Soft Subtles 1997 to 2010

Barely Banana is a very pale, soft yellow with a bright, happy feel. It suggests bananas, lemons and custard, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as lemon, daffodil, butter yellow or sunshine, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.

Color Theory

It sits near yellow on the color wheel, but its softness gives it a gentle, comforting feel rather than a sharp or high-energy one.
