For many years, black was considered a color of power, and white was a color of tradition. But according to Pantone and recent color trends, the strength lies in color &#8211; bright, get-me-noticed color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Every year, Pantone takes a look at what is going on in the world around us and chooses a color that reflects what they feel is \u201ca color snapshot of what we see taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.\u201d And every year, they seem to get it right. We start seeing those colors used in not only in graphic design\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">but interior design and fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This year\u2019s \u201cGreenery\u201d symbolizes a new beginning. To me, it represents life, excitement, and growth. Greenery is a bright, earthy green that can be relevant no matter the season.

Sometimes it can be kind of scary to put yourself out there with such bold colors, but I\u2019d encourage you to give it a try. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Below are a few color combinations that I created, based on this years Pantone Spring Colors. I\u2019ve kept them very simple, with only three colors per combination. I find so many incredible color pallets online, but when designing pieces, sometimes it\u2019s more realistic (and aesthetically pleasing) to minimize the use of multiple colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4358 size-full\" title=\"Color Combinations Based on Pantone Spring Colors\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Color-Swatches.jpg\" alt=\"Pantone Spring Color Swatches\" width=\"1000\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Color-Swatches.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Color-Swatches-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Color-Swatches-768x444.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So, how do these colors look in action?
