Greenery: Pantone’s 2017 Color of the Year

Since Pantone’s introduction of the Color of the Year in 2000, we’ve seen a variety of hues that have captured our attention. Each year, the color has been reflective of our cultural climate–and this year is no different.

As a society, we have reached a crescendo in the “going green” movement. A greater majority are seeking to unplug from the busyness of life in order to reconnect with what’s real. This mindset has influenced the way people live, what they eat, how they decorate their home, and how they look at the planet as a whole. Pantone has once again taken note and picked a color truly reflective of where we are today.

Meet Greeny–a fresh and zesty color that signals us to restore, replenish, recharge, and reconnect. Greenery is a hue that represents new beginnings; an awakening. It’s meant to stir us to purge out the excess so we can hone in on the most important things in life.

Pantone says, “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.”

In addition to Greenery, nine other colors can be found in new color palette. They include Niagara, Primrose Yellow, Lapis Blue, Flame, Island Paradise, Pale Dogwood, Pink Yarrow, Kale , and Hazelnut.

 

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute states that the 2017 Spring Color Report “evokes a spectrum of emotion and feeling” because the hues are reminiscent of those that surround us in nature.
