Bringing the Outside IN

Greenery is Pantone’s Color of the Year 2017.

Pantone Color Institute has released the Spring 2017 color report. Among many other colors that are perfect for this year, Greenery symbolizes new beginnings.

Greenery is a tangy, yellow-green that speaks to our need to explore, experiment and reinvent. Its fresh and zesty shade evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. According to the Pantone Institute, the fertile attributes of Greenery signals one to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.
Adding Greenery through living walls, terrariums, botanically-themed wallpaper, paint, accent furniture and décor provides respite and breathing space.

Symbolism

Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another, and a larger purpose.

• Unifying
• Boldness
• Vigor
• Modernity

Open spaces in interior and exterior design and floor-to-ceiling windows allow the green outdoors to become part of a room’s backdrop and ambiance.
A Greenery-painted wall or piece of furniture delivers a pop of color, with the added benefit of creating the illusion of nature indoors.
