I did some searching online for daycare colours as well as looked at many pictures of daycare setups to see what looked good to me and what didn't. Here are a couple things I read about yellow on the internet. If you check out the links there is info about different colours:

"Choose yellow to create an environment that exudes sunshine and warmth. Yellow encourages memory and activity as well as creativity. Paint the walls with a lighter hue of buttercup yellow to provide the perfect backdrop for fun and energy in the daycare."

And here is part of another article:

"Yellow is a good paint color to use in day care facilities because it is known to stimulate the intellect, according to the the University of Hawaii at Hilo and Hawaii Community College study. The color increases brain activity, an important goal in young learning centers. It also alleviates depression and bad moods, helping children (and day care workers) to stay cheerful and happy. Use yellow to paint an entire room or with another color to create a harmonious atmosphere."

If yellow is a stimulating colour then it makes sense that it might not be the best colour for an overtired infant who needs to settle down. But my goal is play and imagination not sleep. Our sleep area is actually a sage green (my diningroom). My husband wanted the brighter yellow but I am going for the colour one up the paint card so it will be yellow but not in your face yellow. I am not concerned at all about painting my room yellow.
