THE COLOR for 2009... who makes this up?

"GREAT. Get out those old SEARS rain coats and 'golashes, Maw; Mimosa is Back!"


Color of the Year 2009: Goodbye Blue Iris, Hello Mimosa

2007-12-10-blueiris.jpg
Last year Pantone's 2008
color choice was deep, mysterious and definitely on the cool side of the color wheel.

It was Blue Iris (shown here) and was described as a hue that "combines the stable and calming aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple. Blue Iris satisfies the need for reassurance in a complex world, while adding a hint of mystery and excitement".

Well, according to Pantone's announcement today, it looks like we've had just about enough mystery and excitement and now we need some hope and radiance...in the form of Mimosa.

‘PANTONE 14-0848 Mimosa’ Color of the year 2009

Pantone, an X-Rite company and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, announced PANTONE 14-0848 Mimosa, a warm, engaging yellow, as the color of the year for 2009.

In a time of economic uncertainty and political change, optimism is paramount and no other color expresses hope and reassurance more than 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.

Mimosa is also one of the 3,000 colors available in Pantone’s line of superior-quality, eco-friendly paint. PANTONE Paints combine the accuracy of PANTONE Colors with the beauty of high-performance Dutch paints. Perfect for the kitchen or family room,
painting a wall in Mimosa will add warmth and cheerfulness to any room, especially during the winter months. Mimosa also creates the illusion of being connected to the outside, making small rooms feel open and inviting.
