PANTONE® announced that they have chosen 14-0848 Mimosa as their color of the year for 2009. In the announcement the color is described as “a warm, engaging yellow.”
“The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”
Best illustrated by the abundant flowers of the Mimosa tree and the sparkle of the brilliantly hued cocktail, the 2009 color of the year represents the hopeful and radiant characteristics associated with the color yellow.
Mimosa is a versatile shade that coordinates with any other color, has appeal for men and women, and translates to both fashion and interiors. Look for women’s accessories, home furnishings, active sportswear and men’s ties and shirts in this vibrant hue.
- In 2008, Blue Iris, a blue with a touch of purple, was color of the year.
- Julie also wrote about the Color of the Year — Mimosa — on Live In Full Color.
- And I showed how this color might be incorporated into the home in 2009 on Color For Your Home.
