anyone who has known me for years can tell you my favorite color. it was once more of an obsession than it is now, but there's just something about the color orange. its constantly cheerful, frequently neglected, and relegated to the ranks of halloween decorations in most households. i love it.

i've wondered if it stems from my love of halloween (also my birthday) but regardless of the source, all things orange just make me happy. i've widened my love of orange to include a yellow/orange blend that pantone just named 'the color of the year'

friends, meet mimosa:




i have been planning a nursery around the colors white, navy, and what i've been calling 'marigold' that has a tinge more orange in it than mimosa, but i could definitely get on board with pantone this year!

orange has been my favorite color for years. is it safe to assume you are having a boy? or do you know?

I like it! I typically lean towards a pumpkin color, but this is very soothing. :)

Love the colors you've chosen, that will be gorgeous. I blogged about this color awhile back too, but I guess my perspective was slightly different: http://jennericgirl.blogspot.com/2008/12/color-of-year.html. :)
