A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic
of new beginnings.
Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade
that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore
and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the
great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take
a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.
Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged
people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse
themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This
shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in
daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices
globally. A constant on the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the
forefront - it is an omnipresent hue around the world.
A life-affirming
shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and
vitality.
Greenery offers us
self-assurance and boldness to live life on our own terms, during a time when
we are redefining what makes us successful and happy.
This is the color of hopefulness, and
of our connection to nature. It speaks to what we call the ‘re’ words: regenerate,
refresh, revitalize, renew. Every spring we enter a new cycle and new
shoots come from the ground. It is something life affirming to look forward to.
