Will you embrace Pantone’s colour of the year 2017: Greenery

Earlier this month, the Pantone Color Institute unveiled the 2017 Colour of the Year — Greenery.

“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

So what does this mean for interiors in 2017?

Each year since 2000, Pantone has chosen a colour that reflects the current cultural climate and in the following year, that colour has influences trends in all design industries — architecture, interior decor, fashion, food and even travel.

We’re seeing latest paint trends incorporate Greenery as well as newly released homewares, and social media is swimming in images of this fresh colour.

Every colour can affect our mood and how we feel in our home. Wendy Rennie, a Haymes Colour and Concept Manager, says “Green is the most common colour in nature and represents balance. It is considered to have a refreshing and revitalising effect.” Find out more about colour and emotion here.
