About Pantone Color of the Year
The Pantone Color of the Year selection process requires thoughtful consideration and trend analysis. To arrive at the selection each year, Pantone’s color experts at the Pantone Color Institute™ comb the world looking for new color influences. These can include the entertainment industry and films in production, traveling art collections and new artists, fashion, all areas of design, popular travel destinations, as well as new lifestyles, playstyles, and socio-economic conditions. Influences may also stem from new technologies, materials, textures, and effects that impact color, relevant social media platforms and even upcoming sporting events that capture worldwide attention.

Make the simple syrup. Zest 1 lemon and set the zest to the side. Juice the lemons over a strainer directly into the pot. Add the sugar and the lavender. Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Once it's done cooking, remove from heat and toss in the lemon zest. Allow the lemon zest to seep for 10-15 minutes. Strain the zest and flower from the syrup. Place the syrup in a glass bottle and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Make the mimosas. Add 1-2 tbsp of the simple syrup to the champagne flutes. Pour the chilled champagne over the simple syrup. Add 1 drop of food coloring if desired. Add garnishes like fresh lemon wedges or fresh sprigs of lavender to the flutes. Serve.
