The Color of 2009…Mimosa

by NAILS Magazine | December 3, 2008 | Bookmark +

Cheers! Color authority the Pantone Color Institute today declared “Mimosa” to be the color of the year for 2009. This warm, engaging yellow was picked for its optimistic reassurance during this time of economic recession.

 

“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, Pantone’s executive director. “Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”

 

Pantone goes on to say that Mimosa is a versatile shade that coordinates with any other color, has appeal for men and women, and translates to both fashion and interiors.

 

What do you think? Will you and your clients be wearing Mimosa in 2009? Let me know in Feedback.
