The Minions are at it again! Well, Pantone is at it again too…! Our favorite little jabbering, genetically-altered clones now have their very own Pantone color: Minion Yellow.

Released in April 2015, this is the first character color for Pantone, as well as the first new color released in three years.

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute says, “…PANTONE Minion Yellow is a color that heightens awareness and creates clarity…the color of hope, joy and optimism.”

We agree. Minion Yellow is a true yellow – not too buttery, not too golden – and reminds us of light and sunshine. Great as an accent color in a bedroom or kitchen, Minion Yellow will brighten any space, large or small. Complementary colors include “blue jean” blue, pinks, all shades of purple and bright greens.
