What to do about the color yellow

Update - I found a yellow Henley in cotton. But the yellow is just a little . . . off. Could it be that colors in Thailand are perceived differently than the U.S.? Are modern fabrics incapable of taking on color so it comes out dull? If I could only decide what colors I want to make-up my life. 11/29/2013

Where is Yellow, yummy yellow? I want clothing the color of butter, lemon sorbet, and beaten eggs. I want frothy luscious yellow tulle, cotton, silk, and velvet. Simply gorgeous yellow. Ocher and golds are not yellow. Who decides? There should be uplifting and inspiring pallets, not the colors of lichen, kelp or pewter.

Finding yellow clothing that is not school-bus or fire engine yellow has been difficult over the past few years. Designers have been sticking to the depressing colors of terra-cotta, bluish grey and steel grey. How depressing for people that have a winter complexion and who look good in bright colors. I having been searching for (and would be happy if I found) a buttery yellow t-shirt. Therefore, I feel the fashion industry is holding my self-expression hostage. I resent that I have to follow their color and fabric choices. Surely if they wanted to buy a painting they would not be confined to buying Thomas Kincade.
