Trends: Pantone Colors

Have you noticed that we have added a splash of color to our website? For the Summer wedding season, we choose the 2009 Pantone color of the year: 14-0848 Mimosa.  Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute® explains why this is their color of the year “The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance,” “Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”

The Pantone Solid Colors Palette, has over 1100 unique, numbered colors. It was originally created to help printers and designers specify and control colors for print projects.  When you visit with us for a client meeting, we display Pantone color swatch books to help with your color choices and to help generate some new ideas. The Pantone swatch contains the formula that our professional printer uses to mix the ink  to create your chosen colors. By using this system the printer can make a perfect match. If your stuck on some color choice ideas, come see our Pantone books. You are bound to find colors that you love! You can learn more about our current color choice here: www.pantone.com.
