A big congratulations to my dear friend Mimosa, who has recently been honored by being named 2009 Pantone Color of the Year! Wow, what an honor that must be. Beating out Tangerine, Blue Iris (who took the 2008 honor), Celery, Rose Dust and just barely edging out Super Lemon to take the coveted annual title.
Described by friends as "a warm, engaging yellow," Mimosa looked toward the future during her acceptance speech. "I embody hopefulness and reassurance in a climate of change," says Mimosa.
"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."
Congratulations, Mimosa, enjoy your time in the sun....
