Babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is often seen as a warm, neutral color for a baby's room, especially when the gender is unknown. However, yellow can cause strain on the baby's eyes if it is too bright, which can cause irritability. If parents choose to use yellow for a baby's room, it should be used sparingly, as opposed to being the main color.
