Every year, several design-focused entities name their color of the year, and this year has been dominated by rich blues — from Pantone’s Classic Blue to Sherwin-Williams’ Naval. And, as much as I love blue (especially as an alternative neutral), I am green with envy to start 2020!
When I say green, you may immediately think of a pure ROYGBIV green or perhaps a traditional hunter green or a more natural olive, and it’s exactly that range that has me excited about incorporating this color in subtle and more meaningful design elements. It can be beautiful paired with some of the aforementioned blues or be the star of the show when contrasted with clean neutrals. Moreover, during the winter months when green is lacking outside, why not bring more of it inside?
