I love the Yellow Castle myself. As far as using Yellow on a large scale I say
why not! I personally have more Gray now than any other color thanks to a
bunch of Gray Service Packs I bought last year.
I think any color done right would look great. Of course Black does not
photograph well so I try and stay away from that but otherwise I think any
color looks right in LEGO mainly because its LEGO. Those colors might not look
right in the real world but this is a LEGO world and Bright colors just seem to
be a part of it.
I have also been working on building my gate and wall for my city. I had not
meant to publish these pictures yet but if you are interested you can see my
gate here. (This is just a directory for unpublished pictures. Oops now my
secret is out!! :-).

I have not published this yet because I still expect this to change. There are
a few aspects of the gate that I am considering changing (Or purchasing some
LEGO so I can change them mostly for color purposes). I don't know how this
would look in Yellow but I also would love to see a different Gate/Wall done in
Yellow because it intrigues me now that you have mentioned it.
