Mimosa, Anyone?
February 5, 2009
No, ladies this time I’m not talking about our favorite breakfast beverage, but the official color for 2009.
“Mimosa” (a shade of yellow) has been branded the “color of the year” by Pantone — the source for color standards in the design and fashion industry.
“I think it’s just the most wonderful symbolic color of the future,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “It’s invariably connected to warmth, sunshine and cheer—all the good things we’re in dire need of right now.”
Our First Lady, having selected a yellow inauguration dress and spotted in this year’s color on multiple occasions, must agree.

Does Mimosa get your vote for 2009?
