Pantone's Colour of the Year 2017: Greenery

Greenery

cr. R.Allum 2015

If you've been following the Pantone hype you know that they match up other colours with the colour of the year. I'm not getting into that but do keep scrolling for outfit inspiration! ^_^

Greenery, it's self explanatory name and color. Greenery, grass, leaves, nature. Not the rich, dark green of a northern forest but more like the the new leaves of a mango tree. The colour of macha I'd say to be exact. The range is that of light to med-light yellow greens.

Green is a colour that has been proven to improve mood. This is why looking out the car window on a long drive out of the city can be so calming.
Light green can symbolise a fresh start or new beginning. Like the new growth of a mango tree.
Green is also synonymous with prosperity for some crystal meanings so may this year be just that! It also applies to the heart chakra so let there be love! World love :3

Pantone chose this colour because they wish to boost the mood of the world. Hopefully fashion bloggers and retailers embrace the colour and we see a shift from constant neutrals and metallics in everyday wear. Bring Back Colourrr! Maybe in Spring there'll be a change :D

Personally I would have gone with another jewel tone/name like Peridot/Olivine but we had Rose Quartz last year sooo... :'D

Here's to green! and nature inspired outfits! 

I whipped up some quick outfits from H&M.
