Ever wonder what is the trending color for 2017. According to the Pantone Color Institute, green will be the based color for the most popular swatches. Designs for floors, furniture, fixture and walls will be inspired by the said tone.
Why Green?
Green symbolizes freshness. It is the color of spring. Green symbolizes the rebirth of leaves after a hard winter. The color reminds consumers to take deep breaths, reinvigorate and enjoy a renewed life.
As what is described by the PCI: 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.
