The Official Color for 2009
According to Samantha Critchell, blogging for the Huffington Post, yellow is the official color for this year.
Pantone, which provides color standards to design industries, specifically cites “mimosa,” a vibrant shade of yellow illustrated by the flowers of some mimosa trees as well as the brunch-favorite cocktail, as its top shade of the new year
This does not surprise me. I have found myself drawn to deep yellow lately. It is a great color. I just used a color much like Mimosa for an Island in Judy Clement’s Kitchen.
Local painter extraordinaire, Janice Zabitz, painted the Island and distressed it. After mucho patience to put on mucho coats of paint, crackle glaze and varnish, it turned out oh so yummy looking. mmmm mmmm. It makes me happy. Here here for yellow!
