Yellow and pink is an energetic colour combination, but I predict you won't be seeing it in every second home you visit. I can tell it is a rare combination because it was difficult to find support images to illustrate my ideas for this post. It's good to know there are still fresh and daring colour schemes that haven't been overdone.

The two images above both work because of the liberal use of the magic colour - white - which makes everything look fresh and crisp. The pinks and yellows need to be more vibrant to carry the contrast with the white.
The feeling in these two rooms if affected by the pale yellow on the walls which gives an overall soft feel. Even the fuchsia colour appears softer than in the first high contrast rooms.
This room is quirky and interesting with its inclusion of yellow and pink accessories. I love it when someone isn't afraid to express him/herself in design. The sleekness of the mid century modern cabinet really appeals to my need for "frill-less" furniture. Retro works for me.

More yellow than anything else but the hits of raspberry provide a nice accent. It is inviting.

Everything here is pale, soft and traditional.
One colour scheme but many looks.
