Pantone has announced its 2017 color of the year: introducing Greenery! As noted on the Pantone website: “greenery is symbolic of new beginnings a refreshing and revitalizing shade.”
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute said: “Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.”
We think Greenery is the perfect choice for 2017 and would love to see it used, especially throughout the local homes we serve in New Jersey. Greenery is all around us, across Tatum Park in Middletown, the reservoir in Howell, and more.
