Burgeoning holiday cheer climaxes with anticipation of a new year, a fresh start and a renewed enthusiasm for life. No color is more appropriate to highlight this sentiment of aspirational growth like the snapping fresh color of natural green. It buds, it moves, it blossoms into nourishing food, protective shade, and living beauty. In 2017 we look forward to possibility and the benefits that abound from nurturing that which grows. To celebrate this symbolism, we highlight images that reflect the emotion featured in Pantone's Color of the Year 2017 video for their new color Greenery.
"It's very bold and I think it makes for a great accent color, either as a wall, an accessory, or better yet, as the name suggests, as some actual 'greenery'. We have a large palette of colors with which to create the perfect backdrop; whether layered with additional color or as a neutral canvas that will highlight your 'greenery' of choice." - Oceanside Glasstile Lead Designer, Cathy Aroz.
