As you know, every year the Pantone Color Institute chooses its color of the year. This year, Pantone move to greener pastures, literally. The 2017 Color of the Year is Greenery 15-0343. This zesty, yellow-green shade symbolizes new beginnings. If you are inclined to start over and give peace a chance. Then also give Greenery a chance. Expressing what is happening in global culture, this color is carefully selected. It will drive fashion industry for the upcoming year. Last year, Pantone surprised everyone by selecting not one, but two colors; Rose Quartz and Serenity. View a history of former Pantone Color of the Year selections.

“Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.” Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. Refresh and revitalize with some Greenery. I’m looking forward to discovering where we will see green this year. We know it’s on the runway, but will it be on the road? In our kitchens? Keep an eye out!
