That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing! I wonder if the author knew that, or if yellow was just used a lot.. (I’ve seen occasional older advice to paint kitchens yellow to make them “feel sunny”, but imho that’s not an easy color to live with. My mom had a patterned yellow antique couch that was just absolutely hideous.. but it was the style at some point…)

Granted I haven't read that story in a long time, but I think they knew about any of this at the time the story was written. However, I seem to recall that this was a fairly autobiographical story about the author's experiences with post-partum depression and the "treatment" thereof, so it might just be that the cost the yellow wallpaper because it mirrored her experiences
