I do love brights - they make me smile and I gravitate towards them when I want so do something to make someone smile. I just made another baby quilt - white on white background with lots of brights interspersed here :

Now, I'm gonna tell you something here that most people don't like. Qrange is considered the happiest of colors by people who do these kinds of studies. I iind it weird that most people don't like orange but used in the right way, is a fabulous color to add to a scheme of happy colors. Yellow, orange and white are fabulous together.

I seen a log cabin quilt the other day made in really nice bright colors. Each block contained a variety of solid reds, yellows, greens, orange blues, lt blues, lime green, red w/white dots, green w/white dots, red and white checks, and green and white check fabric. Each block had a white border with a white outer border with a yellow binding.

I ran across this quilt doing a google search on pink lemonade. Someone even commented on that thread how "happy" that quilt looked. I quite agree!!
Down further on the first page is a close up and a cute picture of the grand baby on the quilt.

Another good one I found recently is this one:
https://www.shopfonsandporter.com/pr...t/new-arrivals
It has such a simple 2 block design that I was able to graph it myself without the pattern. I was able to find the same fabric as that in the image and it is very bright and happy.

I think all "Warm" tones are happy...cool colors are calming. I think any shade that matches white instead of tan would be a happy color. The exception to that would be neon colors...those make me nervous.
