Trendspotting: Butter Yellow

By Kat La Mantia | May 1 2025 | AdultsGeneralAllGiftBlog

Spring 2025’s biggest color trend is a classic hue that evokes daffodils, Easter eggs, and warm sunshine streaming into open cottage windows–butter yellow.

Butter yellow has made its way from high fashion runways to retail shelves, with KitchenAid declaring the shade their color of the year and Forbes noting its increasing presence in home decor and wellness spaces. A warmer, sunnier alternative to neutral shades like beige and tan, butter yellow is an easy way to incorporate a little more coziness into a space while still maintaining a soothing, soft atmosphere. Add butter yellow to your spring and summer displays for a perfect complement to the floral and fruity motifs that dominate the season!

From gorgeous coffee table books to eye-catching journals to delectable cooking titles, our list of books featuring this trending shade will make you melt for butter yellow. Check out our top picks below, and then click into the title list to explore more books with yellow and gold covers!
