Everyone feels better when the sun comes out.  It’s true that the wrong kind of exposure to the sun can increase your risk of skin cancer, but the right kind can make you happier and healthier. Short exposures to early morning sunshine has been identified as the least damaging and most beneficial. Sunlight triggers the increased production of the feel-good brain chemical, serotonin – which lifts your mood and helps ward off depression.

 The color yellow like the sun is the perfect pick me up. It wakes you up like the sunrise in the morning does. It emits joy, happiness and cheerfulness and to me it is the color of energy. It makes me want to get up and go as it recharges, energizes, revitalizes. Bright Lemon yellow has a dramatic effect of energizing you with ‘happiness’ vibes. (Think of the “smiley face icon”) A recent study in the United States showed that school children instinctively chose a yellow crayon to sketch a happy story. Color researchers also believe that yellow increases self-esteem and strengthens overall well-being.

Pairing our most popular solid color from Koi scrubs, steel, with a pop of lemon yellow is the perfect way to increase your happiness as well as the happiness of those around you!
