Crome Yellow is the first novel by British author Aldous Huxley, published by Chatto and Windus in 1921, followed by a US. edition by George H. Doran Company in 1922. Though a social satire of its time, it is still appreciated and has been adapted to different media. Crome Yellow was written during the summer of 1921 in the Tuscan seaside resort of Forte dei Marmi and published in November of that year. In view of its episodic nature, the novel was described in The Spectator as "a Cubist Peacock". This was in recognition of the fact that it was modelled on (and publicised as in the tradition of) Thomas Love Peacock's country-house novels.

Huxley's writing style was characterized by his use of satire and wit, as well as his keen observations of society. He was a prominent figure in the literary genre of dystopian fiction, influencing writers such as George Orwell and Margaret Atwood.

His contributions to literature continue to be celebrated for their thought-provoking commentary on the complexities of human existence.
