Friday Inspo – Pantone Colour of the Year!

Happy Friday Everyone!

If you’re looking for some design / decor ideas for 2017, a fab place to start is with Pantone.

As many of you will know, each year Pantone announce their Colour of the Year. Pantone describe their tradition as “a symbolic colour selection; a colour snapshot of what we see taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.”

While last year was all about pastels like Rose Quartz & Serenity, this year we’re going back to nature’s favourite colour with Greenery! Here’s Pantone’s official blurb about their COTY choice for 2017 & what it represents:

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.

Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. A constant on the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the forefront – it is an omnipresent hue around the world.

A life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and vitality.

We hope you’re all as inspired as we are by this year’s colour choice! We hope your weekend is as bright & vibrant as Greenery!
