Color of the Year

Color of the Year
For the past 17 years, Pantone has selected a “Color of the Year” based on the essence and cultural of the moment we live in. Pantone helps establish the standardization of colors used to reproduce paints, inks, and dyes. This standardization means comes across the globe and across the globe can color match more quickly and easily. By selecting a Color of the Year, everyone from designers, artist, florists, and so on can better plan their upcoming products and designs. The Color of the Year is selected in a secret meeting of representatives from several nations’ color standards groups. The much-anticipated color is then announced through the publication of the Pantone View. To learn more about Pantone and Pantone’s history visit:

And the 2017 Color of the Year is: Greenery

In honor of the 2107 color of the year chosen to reflect New Beginnings and to inspire you as you look for ways to utilize green in your own home, here are some Faux Finishes created by Swan Studios Inc in shades of Green:

This gorgeous metallic shade of green enhanced with metallic bronze is no shrinking violet. It makes for a stunning backdrop for a tropical guest bath.







Shades of green are glazed sculpted relief palm leaves in this Florida guest powder room
