Pantone, the color-management company, announced on the advent of 2017 that the Color of the Year was Greenery. This is a refreshing shade, one that revitalizes the homeowner’s senses without difficulty. It is a color that symbolizes beginnings.
Pantone Greenery can also be a striking shade. If you don’t look carefully, you might mistake it for lime green. It can strike a punch especially when you compare it to the colors of the year in 2016 – Serenity and Rose Quartz.
Pantone Green and Mother Nature
This year’s chief color practically begs everyone to notice the beauty of nature once more. People can reconnect with Mother Nature and should even begin to look at nobler purposes in life.
Pantone Greenery should also be relevant in the sense that the world is now slowly embracing green living.
Green living, also known as sustainable living, is a lifestyle wherein the people who sign up to do it bring balance to Earth’s natural habitats, resources, and biodiversity. Sustainable living points out that humans are very much a part of their surroundings, thus, they are affected by the Earth’s movements and environments.
More and more people are enamored by the practices that have little to zero impact on the environment. These people agree to the reduction of consumption and waste and they carry over these practices to their living arrangements.
A nature-centered lifestyle also means finding sustainable means to redo or redesign your space. This means using low to non-VOC paint and green flooring. You see, your home is where you socialize, cook, relax, and where you raise your kids. Of course, you would want it to be inviting and nurturing.
Remaking your space means changing the colors as well. You can begin by using Pantone Greenery. This is a culturally-significant hue that you can use in small doses throughout your home. If you choose a larger palette for this hue, then Pantone Greenery is also perfect.
Green, after all, is the fusion of yellow and blue; yellow which is the color of the sun and blue which is the color of the skies and the waters of the Earth. You could never go wrong with green as it is the visual anchor that represents rainforests, jungles, grasses, and trees.
Decorating your bathroom and kitchen with Pantone Greenery is a wonderful way to make these rooms come to life. Imagine having the walls of your bathroom splashed with this refreshing color. If this is too bold for you, then you can just have the bathtub and the sink come in this color. If these, too, don’t work, then you can have just a few accent pieces brought in.
Psychology in Greenery
Apart from beginnings and freshness, green is the color of safety, harmony, and fertility. It can affect you and your family mentally and physically. It is youthful and relaxing so it can easily alleviate depression, anxiety, and nervousness.
Green has the same amazing coolness that blue offers. It is directly related to energy and nature which is why it is chiefly used to advertise or promote medical products.
Pantone Greenery on Greeneries
The greenery effect can be carried a notch higher as you bring in potted plants or greens in vases. This is an effortless way to bring joy into your home without visually overwhelming anyone.
Plants can be placed on table tops or shelves, even on bedside tables. It is an effective way to break the boring color palette that is usually seen in homes. A stark white home can also look less unadorned if you bring in those potted greeneries.

FFDM Fusion: The pop of green is a refreshing sight in this bedroom photograph.
It is always crucial that you stay up-to-date when it comes to interior design trends. An effective way to do this is to find out which colors are in and which are no longer popular. This is the first month of the year and so it is also the perfect time to begin updating the colors of your home. This is now the right time to switch to the more popular hues.
What’s Greenery?
Pantone highlights the color for this year. This is a symbolic selection of colors based on culture as well as a collective expression of people’s attitudes and moods.
Pantone blended two shades in the past year which were serenity and rose quartz. This year, it has chosen a brighter color that’s in line with what’s hip.
Greenery means a more cheerful version of yellow green. Pantone describes it as the symbol of new beginnings. It is a refreshing shade to begin with so it is the right color to alter the look of your home.
Greenery also blends well with other colors like blue and pink. This can also serve as the accent to white or black color scheme.
Greenery Painting
Refresh your home with a new coat of paint. This can beautifully add a burst of color to any room. If you’re adventurous enough, you can use it on your accent wall.
Infuse this color with stripes since it also looks great with white. You can make this accent wall the next DIY project for your family.
Greenery Backsplash
If you want your bathrooms to look trendier this year, then use greenery as the color for your bathroom or kitchen backsplash. If you currently have a natural-looking bathroom, use glass greenery tiles for the backsplash.
The average cost for every finished square foot is about $9.13 to $17.89.

Greenery in the Bedroom
Using this color inside the bedroom is a non-traditional way to set up your sleeping space. This could possibly improve your mood inside this room based on the psychology of color.
A green bedroom is a room that shows passion and vitality. This is the shade that you would want to use if you want to have a life-affirming color to represent your goals for this year.
Let your bedroom become a versatile place this 2017. Consider changing the window treatments as well as the bedding to match this beautiful color. Use small accessories like candles and pillows. If you love this shade enough, consider painting the trim or walls with a more permanent coat.
If you’re not that brave to venture into a blast of this color just yet, then just subtly incorporate it on your accessories. In the kitchen, for instance, use greenery vases, chair cushions and decorative bowls.
Matching Greenery
The Pantone color for this year is all about the beauty of nature and how you can bring it inside your home. If you’re ready to work with this color, be sure to accompany it with other natural elements like wood.
Use bamboo, rattan or wicker to highlight this wonderful color.
With a bolder attitude, you can match greenery with bright pinks, hot blues or metallics. Don’t overdo it, though, or you could end up with a room that has a lot of clashing hues.
A Final Reminder
Your home should be a retreat so use the Pantone color of the year to create a place of tranquility. Use it in different areas of your home to evoke relaxation and a beautiful appeal at the same time.
Embrace this global culture that’s taking the world by storm. Let greenery become the new you.
