Every year The Pantone Color Institute selects one color to symbolize the theme in color for the upcoming year. Pantone is the leader in color trend forecasting and research. For 2017 Pantone announced Greenery as the new “it” color.

I have to admit the first time I saw this color I was apprehensive. It felt too yellow and tangy.

But I LOVE green and if this ushers in more green tones into fashion and interiors than I am all in! I love a little more blue in my green tones. If you want to incorporate green into your home and wardrobe, I have hand picked a few items that will get you started.

This really sums up what I love; great artwork, a moto leather jacket, statement shoes, velvet chairs…. yum!! Don’t worry about following trends to a “T”, just be inspired by them and make your own design choices! January is a great time to usher in color! What do you think of the new Pantone Color of the Year?
