Apparently the color gods at Pantone have named Mimosa Yellow the color of the year for 2009. How would one go about getting the job of naming color of the year....I must find that out!
I guess as a color in general it's fine, but what about us girls with dishwater blonde hair and pale skin?! I haven't met a yellow yet that looked good on me, and I'm kinda sad that I won't be wearing the color of the year. Can't we just keep the plum and chocolate shades of winter around...everyone looks good in them!
Taken from the Pantone website: "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(R). "Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation."
As for me, I'll stick to drinking Mimosa instead of wearing it.

Or make them the way I like 'em 2 parts champagne to 1 part oj, pour over ice in your prettiest wine glass!
Either way, enjoy the color of the year!

AHH, the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, that's what I'm talkin' about!
Yeah, and you look good in yellow Patty...I remember your bathing suit in Siesta Key was yellow....maybe more of a buttermint than a mimosa, but adorable none the less. Lucky you!
I love yellow. Yellow is just the happiest color, but I guess not all people can wear it. I found this out years ago when planning my wedding. I wanted everyone to wear yellow, and drew the wrath of my future mother-in-law. Not the first time, and most certainly not the last. But I'll never forget how darling my own mother looked in yellow that day, with her beautiful dark skin that wasn't passed to me.
