Is Butter Yellow The Colour Of The Season?

Last updated on: November 28, 2025 14:25 IST

Soft, sunny, and surprisingly versatile, butter yellow is taking over wardrobes this season.

It’s that perfect in-between shade: not too bright, not too pale... just the right amount of happy. Celebs are quickly embracing this mellow hue, proving that butter yellow works just as well for brunches as it does for big fat weddings.

Another reason why it is becoming a favourite in many wardrobes is because it is bright enough for daytime brunches yet gives off a subtle glow under evening lights.
