What Does Golden Glow Mean?
Golden Glow is sunlight made visible. It is the most luminous color the human eye perceives, which makes it the natural symbol of happiness, optimism and energy. Golden Glow stimulates mental activity and memory — it is the color of sticky notes and highlighters for a reason. At the same time, its extreme visibility makes it the global color of caution: taxis, school buses and warning signs.
