There’s something so refreshing about the color yellow — the hue instantly makes you feel refreshed and chipper. Yellow signifies hope and happiness, and studies have even shown that the color can evoke warmth, encourage communication, and build confidence.

Apparently, former Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was trying to exude that confidence at the SeriousFun Children's Network Gala on Tuesday night, for which she wore a bright yellow tweed coat and light yellow pants. Clinton, who’s a big fan of colorful pantsuits, wore the style in various colors of the rainbow on the 2016 campaign trail, often with tweed jackets like the one she wore this week.

This isn’t Clinton’s worn the cheerful shade. In 2001, she sported a yellow pantsuit to daughter Chelsea Clinton’s graduation from Stanford University. During her first presidential campaign trail opposite Barack Obama, she donned a similar hued number at a town hall meeting in 2007. Last February, she wore a mustard yellow Nehru-style jacket to the Wisconsin debate against Bernie Sanders.

Clinton, who was a special guest at the gala, said during her speech: “I’m looking for some serious fun. I have a big fun deficit.” Perhaps that explains her bright sartorial choice. Regardless of her reasons for wearing it, we’re smiling just looking at it — guess those studies must be true.

Now, excuse us while we go shopping for anything yellow.
