Some people get jewelry for their birthdays. Others receive a nice bottle of wine. But if you’re Drew Barrymore and you’ve got a sincere love of all things colorful, you’re going to get a Pantone hue named after you. At least, that’s what they did in honor of the star’s 50th birthday this week. It’s a no-brainer that the color institute would pick a shade of butter yellow given Barrymore has built her personal brand on warmth and optimism. Even the tagline for The Drew Barrymore show is “daytime’s brightest destination.”
“Drew Barrymore Yellow exudes a joyful glow, creating a space where everyone can shine. Inviting thoughts of pleasant relaxation, the creamy yellow is emblematic of Drew’s desire for happiness,” Laurie Pressman, the vice president of Pantone Color Institute, wrote in the company’s formal announcement.
This buttery yellow shade has been a go-to for interior designers for a while now. They’ve used similar swatches on kitchen cabinets, dining nooks, sofas, and even exteriors. Now that we know the hue is Barrymore-approved, we really want to bring a splash of her shade into our spaces with these products.
In the kitchen…
Much like Pantone, KitchenAid recently added a fresh hue to its stand mixer collection that captures the best part of baking.
On the walls…
We’re still not over Sarah Sherman Samuel’s first-ever paint collaboration with Color Atelier. The interior designer recommends using this limewash in a bathroom or playroom.
Where storage is concerned…
U.K.-based brand Mustard Made’s TV locker units can be used for so much more than extra tech in your living room. Bring some sunshine to your laundry area by stashing extra detergent inside this cabinet or use it in the mudroom as a spot for winter gear.
For the floor…
Athena Calderone put an Art Deco spin on the butter yellow trend with this graphic rug featured in her latest Crate & Barrel collab.
Under the covers…
Once this hue hits your sheets, it suddenly goes from energizing to totally soothing.
