But what is Pantone and why do they get to select such an important color?
Pantone, founded by Lawrence Herbert in 1963, is the world-renowned specialist on color. They are the provider of color systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of color across a variety of industries. From designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer, Pantone is the trusted source for color accuracy. When selecting the color of the year, field experts make a selection that is symbolic of the world’s attitude and current state.
The stage was set in 2016 with the selection of Rose Quartz and Serenity. The combination strived to create an environment of order and peace. With the stress of the election, the world seemed to yearn for mindfulness and tranquility as we transitioned into 2017. The announcement of Greenery felt like a refreshing choice.
Greenery surrounds us every day from our backyards to our tabletops and fills the need of positive energy many pursue in design. Psychologically, we tend associate greenery with nature, providing a refreshing sense of health and well-being.
Are you thinking about a bold way to implement Greenery into your design? Consider diving headfirst into this trend by painting a statement wall, and accenting with corresponding blue and purple accessories. A more subtle option may be to add a punch of color to your favorite room by implementing accessories featuring our color of the year. Either way, this healthy punch of color is sure to brighten your home and your mood! How are you going to add greenery into your life this year?
