~mimosa~

I'm happy! Yes! After choosing many dark colors for the title "Color of the Year" in the past few years, finally, Pantone announced Mimosa to be the 2009 "it" color. =)))



I'm expecting to see many bursts of yellow on the Spring/Summer 2009 catwalk. Yes! Mimosa, as in orange-hued yellow.

Luckily, they did not choose black to symbolize the dismal housing market, ongoing war in Iraq, and perils of global warming...
or beige to represent the hesitation with which fashion designers are creating their collections, fearful that shoppers won't buy anything that's too out there.
But yellow. Searingly sanguine yellow.
Mimosa "represents hope and optimism — buzzwords for the new year after a 2008 full of instability and upheaval," - British Vogue.
