Color Coded

Pantone’s Color of the Year | Greenery

Every year I gather a collection of product that represents a snapshot of what Pantone choses as their “color of the year” in our global culture. In a world of social, political and environmental disturbance, the Pantone Color plucked “greenery” as 2017’s color of the year, and I couldn’t be more delighted for this symbolic hue.

To me “greenery” goes much deeper then a fashion and home-design hue. It serves an expression, reminding us all how delicate this earth is.  It represents the great outdoors, reminds us to breathe more, and mostly calls attention to natural physical beauty within us all during a time when self doubt is so prevalent.

This color also symbolizes the health frenzy, eating clean, and MATCHA! Rethinking food waste and processing plants and buying eco-friendly cars, clothes and products. So this year I put together a collection of interior items that are either natural in element, displays the outdoors or has an eco element built into the item.

“Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.”  – Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute

    Hi Michele! This is the only way I know to send a message to Jeff. Please tell him the Burnhams are missing him! So sad.

      Hi Burnhams!
      I just told Jeff you messaged and he was flattered you reached out and said again how much he loved you guys. Also thank you for those headbands you gave the girls! We have many pictures of them wearing them and just recently gifted them to two girlfriends that are best friends who had baby girls 1 week apart. So they’re basically raising them as twins. 😉
      Thank you for reaching out.
      xoxo
      Michele & Jeff

        You are so welcome! Jeff was our favorite at PGC. Tell him Stephanie (she was pregnant with twins and lost one) is expecting her second son any time! We will have FOUR grandsons. I so wanted to buy some headbands, but I guess I will have to buy baseball hats. Keep posting pictures of your ADORABLE girls. I love following your blog and hope someday you will realize your dreams, whatever they may be!!

ABOUT THE BLOG

Wright for Michele is a Portland based lifestyle blog devoted to cultivating stylish, relatable and creative content. It also serves as a personal time capsule of my family’s journeys, giggling and stumbling a bit, through it all.

I started "Wright for Michele" back in 2010 as a creative outlet and to share the things I love (basically the exact same reason the rest of the internet started blogging). Often this blog is about family, sometimes it’s about style, and in general it’s about life and how you (and me) can make every single area in it, better. It’s simple, it’s real (sometimes a little raw and almost always full of grammatical errors), it’s honest and hopefully no matter what it’s a little sweet.
