Sunshine Day

Pantone, the global authority on color, named a previous “it color” as Mimosa. It's bright, happy, and bound to bring cheer.

"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. "Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation."
