Color for 2017
 

Just read that the color for 2017 is to be "Violet Verbana" Looks Like a soft grey/violet Background color maybe, think a lighter yellow/green might work as contrast color ....just love color and thought this was interesting.

Sounds pretty. Sherwin William's announced their color for 2017 a few days ago. Their description: "If brown and gray had baby."

The violet sounds much prettier.

wow, it is pretty:

That's a nice violet/grey color. I rarely do anything in the purple color family but I might actually use that. I've never gotten the "color of the year" thing. I guess I'm up on pop culture (or don't care enough about it lol)

Pretty color, I don't think I'd paint anything in my house that color but I can see using it in a quilt.

As usual, it depends on "who you know" -- Sherwin Williams calls it "Poised Taupe"!
At least Pittsburgh Paints doesn't leave you confused that it will have some purple in it.:rolleyes:

Pantone is the industry standard for setting the color of the year. I don't think 2017 hasn't been announced yet.

I am happy with the "new" color of the year. It looks kind of like a line of denim blues I have stockpiled for a quilt. Yay! For once I got ahead of it. LOL ...

Pantone standardizes colors for certain industries, but their color of the year is only one of many opinions. Pantone gets some people into a room and decides what the color trends might be. Sometimes they're right sometimes they're wrong. I don't think last year's Pantone colors of the year really caught on, so they're definitely not always right..
