GREENERY 2017 – Pantone Color of the Year

Say sayonara to Rose Quartz and Serenity. The Pantone Color Institute has just announced their selection for the 2017 Color of the Year!

It’s fresh, it’s vivacious, it’s Greenery, a refreshing and revitalizing shade of green symbolic of new beginnings.

True to its name, Greenery brings to mind flourishing foliage and lush signs of life come spring. It encourages you to take a deep breath and be inspired by thoughts of hope and resilience.Greenery is a symbol of new beginnings.

Where 2016’s Rose Quartz and Serenity encouraged mindfulness, rest and well-being, this earthy hue symbolizes energy and new beginnings.

As Pantone puts it:

“Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.”

Yellower and brighter in color than 2013’s Emerald, Greenery has an unyielding sense of positivity and freshness and we absolutely love it! It’s bright, cheerful, energizing and refreshing.

We love how Pantone uses the words ‘revive, restore and renew’ when introducing 2017’s Color of the Year. Heading into the new year, many of us are ready for a fresh start, and Greenery is perfectly symbolic of our desire for growth and new beginnings.

Greenery looks especially stunning paired with navy blue, crisp white and black, however, Pantone offers a whole color palate for you to choose from when making pairings for your wedding or upcoming event.

Regardless of how you look at it, Greenery simply injects a sense of vibrancy, excitement and fun to event decor and fashion making a fresh statement of new beginnings and exciting things to come.
