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.

Pantone's colour of the year: Marsala

What is Marsala? You may be asking yourself. Basically it's a dark red with milk chocolate hues.

It's a type of wine and I gather that the colour itself was derived from the colour of this wine. 

(All rights to respective photographers)
Top two pics are of a lipstick I made in the excitement of finding out about Marsala :3

The top colours they (Pantone) have stated in reverse order:

Aquamarine in it's lightest shade

Scuba blue which is turquoise

Lucite green just think hospital scrubs

Classic blue is almost a jean blue, think the blues and that's the colour

Toasted almond is a beige brown colour, similar to blush

Strawberry ice is a dusty pink frosting colour. Best way to describe it

Tangerine is a muted orange close to peach. The opposite of lucite green

Custard is a light yellow with greys

Glacier grey well this was actually the last "colour" and it's light grey nothing much to say about it besides it has pink tones

Last but not least Marsala...the red of the year, a red-brown colour that is perfect for an accessory or an entire dress. Flattering on most skintones but not easily acquired, perhaps in this year we will be able to snag some pieces in this colour. 

Here is a link to Pantone's website to a page where they tell you the respective colours they chose for fall but of course you don't have to follow that ;)
