A Variety Of Description--The Color Yellow


    Colors are an important and common part of description. They paint the mental pictures in a reader's mind as they read the story. Using creative words to portray the color can help create an even more vivid scene. But if the same phrase or descriptive term (like "sky blue" or "death glare") is used numerous times for different objects/places/people, it does kind of begin to get worn out.
    Having an array of descriptions and phrases is important for writing. They're like tools in a toolbox, gadgets in a utility belt. The words to make an already interesting passage even more exciting!
    Here are a few words that could be used to describe something that's the color yellow:
-Daffodil        -Sunflower        -Egg yolk        -Golden            - Neon           -Mustard
-Duckling      -Rubber duck     -Banana          -French fries     -Corn            -Highlighter
-Pencil           -Bumblebee       -Cheese           -Lemon             -Mango        -Butter
-Minions (from Despicable Me)
    Is this list useful? :) Can you think of other words to describe the color yellow?
