Decorate A Condo

If you're looking for a way to brighten your Chicago condo as well as your mood in these challenging times, consider that suniest of colors, yellow.

The Pantone Color Insitute, a recognized authority on color for design professionals, has released its "2009 Color of The Year". Specifically, Pantone cites a particular shade of yellow called Mimosa.

"Optimism is paramount and no other color expresses hope and reassurance more than yellow," said Pantone in announcing its choice for the new year.
