The Pantone® "colour of the year" has been decided, and next year is all about PANTONE 15-0343 Greenery. This is a yellow-green shade that reminds me of spring, and it is a fresh and reviving colour that makes me feel optimistic and hopeful. According to Leatrice Eiseman, "Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the hope we collectively yearn for amid a complex social and political landscape. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate, revitalize and unite, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose." (1)
