Yellow hearts are the sunny option. They read as friendly, upbeat, and uncomplicated, which makes them perfect for bestie messages, happy updates, or casual celebrations. Use yellow when you want to keep the mood simple and positive without pushing into romance.

This color is also a great pick for daytime energy or clean, cheerful visuals. It is not the best choice for serious or heavy topics, so treat it as a signal for joy and low-pressure support.
