Yellow Mimosa Tree

October 26, 2025

This hue is inspired by the blooms of the yellow mimosa tree (Acacia dealbata), also known as the silver wattle. Native to Australia and celebrated across the Mediterranean, the tree bursts into brilliant color each late winter and early spring, when thousands of tiny spherical blossoms cluster along its feathery stems. The yellow tone comes from flavonoid pigments—primarily chalcones and aurones—that produce its luminous, sunlit hue.
