yellow light

Orbs of yellow light wash over plates of juicy chicken inasal; longtime friends catch up over handpicked wines as music thumps in the background.

One TikTok trend I will begrudgingly support is putting a soft yellow light behind a television to give it a halo effect, but only for television shows, and preferably scripted ones.

Everything goes from technicolor to a muted black, where only occasional bursts of yellow light punctuate the darkness to showcase the room’s focal points.

Exit and walk around in front of a yellow light projected against the rainbow wall’s back side, and your cast shadow mysteriously fragments, like a deck of cards being fanned.

A few years later, Detroit police officer William Potts is credited with adding the yellow light, though as a city employee he couldn’t patent it.
