Pantone, Illumination Entertainment and Universal Partnerships & Licensing recently announced the creation of an official new PANTONE Color, Minion Yellow, based on the Minions from Universal Pictures and Illumination's Despicable Me global film franchise, for the Despicable 

Me franchises. 

The resulting PANTONE Minion Yellow is a custom color. "Color is contextual and right now there is a desire for colors that are more vibrant and uplifting. This is especially the case with the yellows.," said Laurie Pressman, Vice President, Pantone Color Institute.

Minion Yellow is a bright, sunny, saturated almost Banana yellow and it joins a host of other sutured hues on interior designers color palettes this summer including Blue Iris, Turquoise, Emerald, along with previous colors of the year like Honey suckle, Tangerine Tango and Radiant Orchid.

Use it a little. Use it a lot; be judicial with your clients color tolerance. Area rugs, throw pillows, lamps, an accent wall that pops. Go big or go home, upholster a sectional, paint the kitchen table minion yellow and the chairs in 2015's other complementary saturated hues. Have fun and like Pharrell Williams, who helped create the music for the Despicable Me franchise, be "Happy."
