It was selected for the view that the world is in a time of economic and political change and for the fact that yellow more than any other color represents optimism, hope and reassurance.<br /><br />"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."</p><p>While all the above testaments to the effects of yellow on the psyche are so true, yellow is a color that is a tried and true favourite and has been used abundantly throughout the annals of time. Although I don't subscribe to the fickle market trends of color ......thank-you very much Pantone for your re-packaging and re-marketing of the color Yellow and for giving it it's year of fame!! </p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifuAYXnWi3Jv6vaVqd4UJD-X-561j1_kCVJYvS7j8FN6kIeabOB62H-VYRJI_8uT7tERn9j_3bNfhpGtnTTd4cQ8FQyuDRlmbi59jw9vkkYjH8n3HW_NZB3oFV-BHyya_aDEAyA9tmZgSV/s1600-h/IMG_4980%5B5%5D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_4980" border="0" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_AJfvzRThjICDhxmlvI9HZaAb5Hz2rz3Dvcl6ka_3YrTPYYQ7bt_43LXPN6gLK9QSMkpgVzXumVZuL4yAoViXuKM2ZotgZFbnnqhf51B6ILcOzho5iWfsP7CYIU2-3MLda0-d2XNWAi8F/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px;
