Pantone Color of the Year 2017

 PANTONE Color of the Year for 2017 is “Greenery”.  A fresh yellow green color that represents nature.  See how you can incorporate this color into your interiors.

Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. A constant on the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the forefront – it is an omnipresent hue around the world.

Nature’s neutral, PANTONE Greenery is a versatile “trans-seasonal” shade that lends itself to many color combinations. These palettes easily cross over fashion, beauty, product and graphic design applications.

Holiday Centerpiece Decor Ideas

November is here and so are the holidays!  Watch Eddie Ross from Ballard Designs show us a genius way to create and display an edible centerpiece for the holidays.

Eddie’s go-to vegetables are:

  • Cabbage (to hold the dip)
  • Kale (to create a leafy base)
  • Asparagus
  • Carrots
  • Celery hearts
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Bell peppers (yellow, orange and red)
  • English cucumber
  • Endive
  • Haricot verts
  • Radishes
  • Waxed yellow beans

Eddie compares arranging a vegetable platter to creating a floral arrangement. “Think about where your color is going to be,” he offers. Group vegetables of similar shades together, such as pairing the carrots with the orange peppers, and you’ll end up with a beautiful spectrum of color. “The key is that there’s height and color and texture and it doesn’t just feel like flat vegetables in a bowl.”
