Pinterest named 'butter yellow' one of the top colors of 2025 in their annual trend report, Pinterest Predicts. Though it may technically be a current trend, the stylish, muted hue has been around for ages, and it's not going anywhere. For proof, look no further than the home of Princess Diana, timeless style icon.
The Princess of Wales moved into Kensington Palace after marrying Prince Charles (now, King Charles) in 1981. She worked with the British interior designer Dudley Poplak to create a space that honored the 17th-century architecture of the home while integrating her enduringly stylish tastes. Notably, she decorated with a variety of pastels, especially butter yellow. Light yellow walls feature in the drawing room, the dining room, and the nursery suite.
