Mimosa is the Color for 2009

That’s right.  Well, at least according to Pantone.  Fashionistas will probably like to check this site out for past colors of the year and also fashion reports that are issued every spring and fall.  If you’re in a color theory class, or will be taking one in the Spring Quarter, Pantone also has a Color Think Tank that goes over the basics of how we see color to more complex issues.  You can even sign up for an account to have access to Pantone’s database of color articles.

If you want to keep up-to-date with Pantone topics, ideas, and more, sign up to become a fan on Facebook or follow them on Twitter.  This is a great way to always have color information right at your fingertips!
