Drew Barrymore had a color named after her! Here's how to decorate with the happy hue
You know you're a big deal when you get a color named after you. But even Drew Barrymore was shocked when the design company Pantone (which is famous for its "color of the year" reveals) announced they created an official hue bearing her name in honor of her 50th birthday. Talk about a great gift!
What color did Pantone choose? Drew Barrymore Yellow is a pastel that's as cheerful and warm as the talk-show host herself. Interestingly, this shade has also been popping up all over the design world, in part thanks to KitchenAid, which named Butter Yellow its own 2025 Color of the Year.
Spring is coming up soon, which makes now the ideal time to start decorating with this lovely color. (We're guessing it's only a matter of time before Barrymore's Beautiful housewares collection adds it to the lineup!) But don't limit butter yellow to Easter. The shade is surprisingly neutral and can make other colors like red and blue really pop. It also works well with darker wood tones. If you're hesitant to go all-in on a trending color (I get it!), take baby steps. Instead of buying a new yellow sofa, start with a throw pillow, a mug — or any of the other sunny, Barrymore-inspired finds below.
