They call it “A color of elegance and
beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and
harmony." It is Green, the color of growth, the
color of spring, the color of renewal and rebirth. An emotionally positive
color, it renews and restores depleted energy, so it comes as no surprise
that Pantone, the global authority on color and
provider of professional color standards for the design industries, announced Greenery [15-0343] as
the Color of the Year for 2017.
"Greenery, a life-affirming color, is a fresh
and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s
greens revive, restore and renew. It symbolizes the reconnection we seek with
nature, one another and a larger purpose. Evocative of foliage and
the lushness of the great outdoors, Greenery reminds us to take a deep breath,
oxygenate and reinvigorate."
The word green comes
from the Old English word green, which like the German
word grün has the same root as the words grass and grow.
Green had a positive connotation
throughout history. In ancient Egypt it was the symbol of
regeneration and rebirth. The hieroglyph for green represented a growing papyrus
sprout, showing the close connection between green, vegetation, vigor and
growth. In wall paintings, the ruler of the underworld, Osiris,
was typically portrayed with a green face, because green was the symbol of good
health and rebirth. Green also symbolized the sea, which was called the
"Very Green”.
Wether used in architecture, interior décor, fashion, food, travel, or any other design form, green is an outlet for all of these fresh beginnings. The color green is the sanctuary away
from the stresses of modern living, restoring us back to a sense of well-being.
This is why there is so much of this relaxing color on the earth, and this is
why we need to keep it that way…
