Pantone has introduced its Color of the Year for 2017 and it couldn’t be more apropos. The color is Greenery, a pure, vibrant shade of green that is plucked from nature and embodies a sense of hope, rejuvenation, and simplicity. It’s the perfect color to give us a fresh start in the New Year.

What I love about Greenery is the crispness of its tone. If you want a bold, vibrant color without overwhelming a space too much, then this could be the perfect choice for you. Pantone refers to it as “nature’s neutral.” We see it all the time in nature, blanketing forests or covering apples. Because of this, it is easy and natural to the eye while still supplying a healthy punch of color.

There are a lot of ways you can decorate with Greenery. From using it as a subtle accent to painting entire walls in it, the color is versatile and always inspiring. Here are 10 rooms with Greenery to give you some ideas.
