Summer Sun
Stampin' Up!® Color

Basic Information

  • Earth Elements 1997 to 2010

Summer Sun is a light, bright yellow with a bright, happy feel. It suggests summer, sunshine and picnics, 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

Summer Sun is a rich golden yellow with a subtle mustard-gold influence. It sits near the yellow-orange area, giving it a warm presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 44° gives it its mustard-gold character, its saturation of about 59% makes it feel rich rather than flat, and its value of about 95% gives it a light, usable weight.
