Greenery – new beginnings 2017

Do you love the colour Greenery?⠀ In our design studio, we focus a lot on colour. And this month is a special one, as Pantone released the 2017 colour of the year, Greenery. According to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute, “It symbolises the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.”⠀ It got me thinking.⠀ ⠀ With 2017 only a few weeks away, it’s a time for reflection on the year past and…
