Window Treatments in Greenery: Color of the Year 2017

When Pantone announced the 2017 Color of the Year in December, results were mixed and people were a little confused.

“Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.” -- Pantone.com

While some people loved the bright, fresh and modern shade of green, others felt it was too vibrant a color and not reflective of the earthy greens found in nature. For those that loved the color, greenery invited an opportunity for redecoration along with the revitalization. This redecoration process often starts with a wall color and is finished with new window treatments. With such a bright color, window treatments can bring the final touch to tie your new color scheme together.

Redecorate with Greenery Window Treatments

To jumpstart your redecorating process, picking a feature point can be a great place to begin. Select your feature in Pantone’s ‘Greenery’:

• A statement piece of furniture, like a bright couch or modern table
• A wall of windows treated with window treatments in Greenery
• A feature wall painted in Greenery
• Small accent decor items, such as a bowl of green apples or fresh green plants

Utilizing a Greenery feature point will draw your eye to the bright color without overwhelming your space. This fresh greenery color traverses across seasons well - whether reminding you of spring weather on a dreary winter day, or taking the bright summer colors from outdoors to indoors.

Pairing Colors with Greenery

Greenery is a versatile color that can be incorporated into your window treatments in several different color palettes to match your tastes. Pair the bright green with other pastels and vibrant colors to give a fulfilling spring vibe. Or, choose to pair the greenery with browns, taupes, and rich copper tones to reflect the natural feel of a forest floor. Any color palette can be pulled together through the use of stylish window coverings. If you find yourself drawn to Pantone’s Greenery, but not quite sure what to do with it, check out Pantone’s color palette options to get you started with a style you’ll love.
