Greenery: Pantone’s Colour for 2017

“Refreshing and revitalising shade” of Greenery set to bring “restoration, revitalisation and hope” in the New Year

Choosing a colour scheme for your startup business
can be critical in getting you brand recognised. Picking an unusual or
trendy colour can help you get more recognised in the market Hasn’t 2016
been a turbulent old year? How many musicians have we lost? Not to
mention the political earthquakes on both side of the Atlantic Ocean. It
is hardly surprising to find that Pantone, the colour people, have
chosen Greenery as their Color of the Year for 2017.

Greenery aims to be an antithesis of the turbulence of 2016. It is a
fresh, yellow-green shade that is easy on the eyes. It reflects recent
developments towards introducing natural elements in architecture and
graphic design.

There has been a Pantone Color of the Year for seventeen
years. The first colour to have been announced, for the year 2000, was
Cerulean (or Pantone 15-4020). For 2016, Pantone chose two colours, the
first time that has ever happened. Last year’s colours of the year were
Rose Quartz (Pantone 13-1520) and Serenity (Pantone 15-3919).
