30 Yellow Snacks to Add a Burst of Color to Your Party

Yellow is a vibrant color that exudes feelings of energy, optimism, and joy. Across different cultures, it is linked to warmth, happiness, friendship, and even enlightenment. Because of the feelings it invokes it is a popular choice for celebrations and festivities across the world. 

So if you are celebrating something joyful and festive, like a graduation or other accomplishment, consider yellow as a possible color scheme. We gathered our favorite healthy (and some not-so-healthy) yellow snacks for your next fun and vibrant celebration. 

Why Yellow Snacks Are Perfect for a Color Party

Did you know there is a field of study about how colors make us feel called color psychology? Well, color psychologists have found that 52% of people link the color yellow with happiness, joy, optimism, and warmth. Isn’t that what you want to feel at any fun gathering? 

Being happy encourages more positive interactions and stimulates creativity. It can be a great color for team-building events or game nights, where you want to keep the mood high and the attendees active. 

While yellow decorations can help set the mood, serving yellow snacks at a party can also contribute to the mood. Here are our favorite yellow snacks for a color party.
