The color gurus at Pantone annually
choose a hue that they feel will embody the global cultural trends
for the year. For 2017, Pantone forecasts a desire for freshness,
renewal, and rejuvenation amidst our increasingly tech-dependent
society and have illustrated that inclination in “Greenery.” The
color evokes a feeling of spring and newness; it's fresh and bright
and full of life. Being fabric gurus, we eagerly await the color
release every year to envision new possibilities in interior design
and to anticipate such tendencies in the home decor textile industry
that might include the highlighted color, and we’ve already seen
trends of late toward brighter palettes and both modern and classic
botanical patterns.
More or Less
Greenery can be a rather bold color, so
while we've seen some brilliant rooms bedecked in the hue, we don't
anticipate heavy usage in most homes. Neutral palettes are still
widely appreciated for their sedateness and versatility, but adding
splashes of color brings a bit of character to an otherwise void
space without overloading the senses. Greenery is one of those
vibrant and playful yet clean and natural colors that, when used
sparingly, would bring a touch of brightness and interest to a space.

In Combination
Alone, Greenery evokes a very definite
impression, but it's also a versatile color that falls naturally into
a wide range of palettes. It adds balance to color combinations with
other similarly saturated hues but tends to dominate the scene when
used with paler, more neutral colors. Visit Pantone's color of the year article for some palette inspiration, or check out P. Tree's
hand-picked favorites on Instagram or Facebook featuring similar
greens from our current fabric selection.
We are eager to see what kind of response our customers and the global interior design community will have to Greenery over the course of 2017.
