Color Scheme Inspiration: Gray & Yellow

There's just something about pairing yellow with gray that I absolutely love!  I looked into the psychology of each color and after reading a little about each one, it makes sense how one can really balance the other.  

• GRAY: Used well, the color gray can lend interiors an elegant formality that is subtle without being overly conservative. It is the color if you want to create an air of calm, understated confidence.  

• YELLOW: Is often described as an optimistic, life-affirming color that reminds us of sunshine and stimulates our mind, body and emotions.  

The outcome can vary from mellow and sophisticated to bold and outrageous, depending on what tone of yellow & gray you use and how you combine the two. I also like seeing a pop of bright white or black for contrast. What do you think of this color scheme? Could you live with it? Please share!
