Every year, Pantone, the global authority on color, forecasts the next color that’s going to be a big influence in the design world. This color is going to show up in home decor, fashion, beauty, advertising, etc.
For 2017, get ready for… Greenery. Ta Da!

Does it look familiar in any way? I believe they took one look at my logo and decided they better get on the bandwagon! :-D
Pantone says, “Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings. Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew.”
Well, sign me up for "fresh and zesty." This cheery color is clear with no brown or gray undertones, and looks great as an accent with other strong, deep colors like black and navy. Natural tones too.

And it’s very refreshing and energizing against white.

To try some of this color for yourself this spring and summer, start with accent pieces like throw pillows, lamps or dishes in your home. Or buy a bright green handbag or even some nail polish. Yep, they got that too.
So here's to evoking some springtime as we're hunkered down getting ready for an ice storm in January. :-D
