Your Designs and Pantone’s Colour of the Year: Greenery

The Pantone Colour Institute is the world’s foremost authority in all things colour. Each year, Pantone’s fashion gurus select their Colour of the Year while drawing on a wealth of trends from the world of fashion, cosmetics and interior decorating. Fashion aficionados all over the world eagerly await the announcement of the colour like people abide the prediction of winter weather by Punxsutawney Phil on groundhog day. Time to brace your Shop with the Colour of the Year 2017, we shall think!

So what is this year’s Color of the Year, you may ask? Well, it’s surprisingly green and fittingly called Greenery, meaning it’s as green as Granny Smith apples or fresh-cut grass. Wait for it to take to our streets like ninja turtles with their pants down, just like Pantone’s Colours of the Year “Marsala” (2015) and “Serenity and Rose Quartz” (2016) did in previous years.

What Can Greenery Do for Me?

Let’s assume it’s a pretty safe bet that Greenery will rule the world of fashion this year, incorporating it into your designs will and adding a few green tops here and there which you can use as a canvas for new creations will certainly not do any harm.
