Every year, paint and design officials select an official Color of the Year. Pantone chose Greenery because it is “reminiscent of new growth in springtime, signals a need for rejuvenation and renewal, and offers us the feel of a fresh start.” Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, noted that this vibrant hue provides “us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment.” That’s a pretty powerful color!
Greenery’s zesty yellow-green shade evokes the lushness of the outdoors, making it ideal for an inviting entryway, a child’s playroom, or a spa-like bathroom. Utilizing this color supplies a burst of energy to any space. It also works brilliantly for accent features, like painted focal walls or decorative trim. Whether in a residential living room or a commercial space, Greenery makes an immediate, positive impact on anyone walking into the room.
Often referred to as “nature’s neutral,” this shade appears frequently in modern architecture, urban planning, and interior design, representing a pursuit of vitality and personal passion. Don’t assume it can only be used on interior walls—Greenery works exceptionally well on exterior accents, commercial facades, and seasonal updates. It bridges all four seasons and pairs beautifully with a wide spectrum of color palettes.
A great paint match for Greenery is BEHR’s New Shoot (T14-18). If you’re wondering what colors pair best with it, color experts suggest deep navy blues like Midnight Show (T17-17), sunny yellows like Lemon Burst (T17-20), or warm, grounding grays such as Close Knit (T17-01). Combined, these tones work together to inspire balance and a connection to nature within your home or office. You can read more about Pantone’s Color of the Year suggestions here.
