Color of the Month--Mimosa Yellow


It's time for our monthly event I would like to title..."Color of the Month". For February, In spite of the traditional Valentine's colors, my hue of choice, is bright and cheery Mimosa Yellow.

I definitely have a
fondness for this color,
and am glad it's vibrant
hues penetrate the
gray overtones of a cold
(depending on where
you live) winter month.

The Experts say this
warm yellow adds
optimism and re-assurance, which is especially needed in these economic ups and downs.

Sunflowers, or perhaps the yellow Rose of Texas, are generally the first florals thought of, when visualizing yellow blooms. I however, love the Callas, Orchids, Tulips, Gerberas, Daffodils, and more exotic Pin Cushion Proteas, that all have their individual interpretation of this sunny shade.

Interesting color combinations could potentially be Gunmetal Grey and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Plum and Yellow, Navy, Lime and Yellow. Despite the intensity, yellow can be versatile and unexpected.
