The Pantone Color Institute announced its "color of the year" and it is Pantone 15-0343, aka "Greenery."
"We know what kind of world we are living in: one that is very stressful and very tense," Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, was quoted saying in the New York Times. "This is the color of hopefulness, and of our connection to nature. It speaks to what we call the 're' words: regenerate, refresh, revitalize, renew. Every spring we enter a new cycle and new shoots come from the ground. It is something life affirming to look forward to."
