Pantone has just released it’s 2017 “Colour of the Year” a colour you can expect to see in home furnishings and furniture and for 2017 it’s called Greenery.
It’s a Granny Smith apple green. It’s verdant foliage. It’s lush grass.

This colour represents new growth and change. It’s aim is to calm and remind us that life keeps going and we should keep growing and changing.
It’s a warm brighter shade of green and will look great with colours in palettes including:
- Radiant
- Zesty
- Rich
- Opulent
with softer versions suiting
- Spicy
- Exotic
What to Pair with Pantone Greenery
It pairs well with turquoise and aqua blues, vivid violets and tasty orange.
Wear it with navy, camel and soft whites if you want to pair it with a neutral.
For those of us with cooler palettes that it doesn’t suit, think about adding a pot plant or two to your office or home to bring in that healthy green and to enjoy the colour.
Right now, Greenery surrounds me – as I look out my office window into the spring leaves of my Liquid Amber tree – the leaves are lush and green in this exact shade.
Will you be choosing some Greenery in 2017?






I’m so excited for this color! The last few years have been rather blah to me but this green is gorgeous, and plays well with my palette!
Hmmm not sure about this on me, but I love some of the combinations you show, particularly the teal top and small scale printed skirt. I’m a soft summer and I have found that soft muted greens are good although having a British racing green school uniform put me off dark green for 3 decades 🙂
I wore the same green uniform and couldn’t wear dark green for a decade!
If you’re a summer, then greenery isn’t for you. But there will be other greens that are cool and soft that you will find.
Love this green! Can’t wait to see the clothing in this beautiful color. I’ve had a hard time finding pretty green for my Spicy palette.
Yes it’s been cool greens (apart from the khakis and olives) recently, but now the warms get a turn!
I am soooo looking forward to wearing this shade of green, specially since we are transitioning into summer.
I’m so excited! This is a wonderful color for me. I have lots of camel, cobalt and coral to go with it.
PS. The Australian in laws are coming to Maryland and Virginia for Christmas
How exciting for you! Hope they have a great time and sounds like greenery will be a great addition to your wardrobe!
Imogen,
Will this colour suit me as an enigmatic?
Thank you
If you can get a soft version yes – but in this kind of brighter version no.
Nope, nope, nope. This color will look terrible on me. But I can’t complain too much. There have been a lot of wonderful cool colors over the past few years.
There is a lot of emerald green around at the moment – so snap that up now!
Oh… oh man, yech. I have green eyes and it’s my favorite color- but had an immediate and visceral reaction to this one… I am really not a fan!
Until this post, I had no idea how to wear it. Thanks much. I like some of the accessories you chose. especially, the tan and green bag, and the necklace. Where can I find them?
Hi Trace, that green and tan handbag is by Bally and the necklace was through FarFetch
Green plants. This shade is definitely not for me.
I love the greenly top! Where can I find it?
