The Spring Flower Yellow
Glide 87406 Daffodil is the specific vivid, clear yellow of daffodil trumpets — a colour that is simultaneously one of spring's most joyful yellows and one of the most botanically precise. Clearer than Daisy, more vivid than Buttercup, on daffodil-yellow fabrics and spring botanical quilts Daffodil provides the most natural and authentic integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Daffodil differ from Daisy?
Daisy carries a golden warmth drawn from the flower's centre, while Daffodil is a clearer, cleaner spring yellow without the gold lean. On fresh spring botanicals and Easter prints Daffodil reads truer; on warm golden-yellow florals, Daisy blends more naturally.
Is Daffodil or Lemon better for a clear yellow quilt?
Lemon leans cool with a citrus sharpness, while Daffodil is warmer and more botanical. Modern graphic yellows and citrus prints suit Lemon; flower-garden and spring-meadow palettes suit Daffodil. Hold a strand of each against the fabric — the daffodil warmth is subtle but visible.
What palette completes an Easter quilt with Daffodil?
Soft spring companions: Buttercup for the gentler yellow areas, a pale lavender or Lavender for the pastel contrast, and a fresh light green for foliage. All in matching Glide weight, the palette runs without tension changes across the quilt.
