Carlstadt, N.J. -- Warmth and optimism are poised to sweep the fashion world next year, as Pantone has announced the color of the year for 2009 will be Mimosa, aka Pantone 14-0848.
"The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. "Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”
Pantone said the flowers of the mimosa tree, as well as “the sparkle of the brilliantly hued cocktail” are key to this color that “coordinates with any other color, has appeal for men and women, and translates to both fashion and interiors.”
OMG not more yellow. It is so overused to bring in "sunshine" but incredibly hard to pull off! The brain is stressed when yellow interior material & FINISHES are introduced...just too much to process...look at the research. Most of my color consults are a result of clients thinking yellow tones and hues will brighten things up and discover that they can't stand to be in the room. I will do yellow BUT the conditions and balance of warm, cold, and window exposure, climate,textures, outdoor scenery HAVE TO BE JUST RIGHT!!!
