Sometimes it takes us months of seeing, and loving, a trend before we do anything about it. But it’s always there, on the back of our minds. When butter itself was trendy—like butter boards and even sculptures—I wasn’t too obsessed (it just made me crave toast), though I did buy a cute butter dish to keep it all safe. Now that butter yellow has taken over the world of fashion and decor, we’re suddenly seeing pastels in a whole new light. Whether its yellow on yellow, paired with blush and baby blue, or perhaps contrasted against a deep chocolate brown, the trend has us adoring mellow yellow more than ever before. This roundup is a long time coming, but better late than never. Because while mocha mousse may be the color of 2025, butter yellow is clearly viewers’ choice.
