The look: Oh-so-sunny accents spiff up rooms, be they dressed in white, black, or neutral.

Seen in: The new CB2 catalog touts the interior design company's new yellow pieces on the cover. CoverGirl’s newest mascara, LashBlast Length, is packaged in sunny yellow. The accompanying ad campaign features Drew Barrymore wearing an asymmetrical yellow party dress and fingerless black fishnet gloves.

Loved by: Kansas City-based interior designer David Jimenez used a crisp, classic palette of black, white, and citron in his Palm Springs vacation home. A bold yellow wall is a chic backdrop for the living room that never fails to make him happy when he walks in the door. He says, “I loved the energy that the color created so much that I used a hints of it throughout the house to unify the rooms.” Jimenez cites Rat Pack style shows and films, like Mad Men and Tom Ford’s A Single Man, as inspiration for his use of vintage pieces with classic silhouettes combined with tailored upholstery and retro wallpaper.

[Editors' Note: This is the fifth and final in our series of interior design mini trends. See the others: Mushroom Madness, Chain Link Tchotchkes, Baring the Bulb, Hunting Lodge Chic.
