Their selected color–PANTONE 15-0343 Greenery–was taken from Pantone’s Fashion, Home + Interiors Color System–the recognized color standard for fashion, textile, home and interior design.

It’s a fresh and zesty yellow-green evoking the first days of spring that signal taking a deep breath to oxygenate and reinvigorate. Here’s what Pantone says about their new color of the year:
  • Greenery is fashion’s neutral tone for providing a pop of color in accessories and footwear, or a bold accent in a pattern.
  • For Home Décor and Architecture, it allows the green outdoors to become part of a room’s backdrop and ambiance & reduces anxiety.
  • For Beauty, Greenery is a display of boldness and vitality that’s complementary to red shades, playing down skin ruddiness.
  • For Food and Beverage, green is inked to the power of plants, prominent in many health food trends today, including seaweed and avocado, conveying organic healthfulness.
  • For Graphic Design–because of green’s prevalence in nature, it maintains a perception of being inherently good & organic. This is especially true for packaging, where green provides an instant message of freshness.
 
Ah, the beauty and freshness of a new color that makes the old color books obsolete and starts another feverish round of lemmingish purchases of new color books and formula books!

Whenever Pantone needs a cash infusion they simply add a few new color formulas and market them.
 
Actually, the "Color of the Year" is an annual event that several industries follow closely.
 
Pantone is clearly different. Pantone is "color" of the year and Beauti-tone is "colour" :)

That's because the Beauti-tone color of the year wasn't dictated by a corporation but was chosen by Canadians. We put "u" in color!

Babba boom!
