I have been working quite dilligently on a project for a hair designer in the Dallas area (read: lots of fun colors!). And while searching for inspiration for the perfect color palette (here) I have had a growing love for one of my already-favorite colors right now. Pantone's Mimosa. Is it cliche? You tell me. But everytime I see it (or any of Mimosa's siblings, Curry, Turmeric, Mustard...) My heart leaps! And in the grey, ice-covered city that I live in she is a beacon of better things to come.
Also, a fantastic typeface found on itsnicethat (which you should read every morning for inspiration) by Marc Alcock.
We're pretty gray here too, but I do love color :)
ReplyDeletei have to agree with you on the weeder's digest post, it was probably the funniest thing i've read in quite a while.
ReplyDeletelove the mimosa. are you sure it doesn't have something to do with you also loving the drink?
can't wait to see some of your projects. sad you're not just a short drive away to brainstorm with anymore...
Well Mimosa is the 2009 color of the year so it sounds like you are on the right track.
ReplyDeleteI love anything full of bright colors and apparently so do the Japanese You should see all of the things they are making in Pantone colors, like this: http://mslk.com/reactions/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mslk-japan-graphics02.jpg
