Last year, Pantone selected the color Greenery to help us all reenergize after a very difficult year. Now that we have recovered from 2016 and are once again standing on our feet, Pantone has selected Ultra Violet 18-3838 as 2018’s color of the year. They chose this purple shade to inspire an era of increased creativity and exploration to help us move on from the past.
The Pantone Color Institute selected Greenery, a lush and vibrant yellow-green, to be the color of the year for 2017.
Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, wrote:
“Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political climate. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.”
