I love this color--one of my absolute favorites!! I'm hoping the stores in Denver hop on board.

I guess I'll take it out this spring, but I don't think I'll add any other items to my closet. I just cannot wear this color nor does it play nice with the other colors in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery/page/2#post-1763715 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 13:19:48 +0000 April 1763715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's one of those "condiment colors"</p> <p>(mustard yellow, ketchup red, relish green) that Stacy and Clinton used to talk about as being notoriously hard to wear against most Caucasian skin tones. &nbsp;</p> <p>If you're one whose skin sings against these yellow-rich shades, enjoy this color! &nbsp;I'll wave to you from the bench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery/page/2#post-1763650 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 03:26:15 +0000 Anonymous 1763650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can dig it.

I have a new suede bag in this green that I bought a few months ago and haven't used yet &nbsp;- I'm saving it for March and April . &nbsp;The Pantone green could be odd right up against the face for many of us - but with everything, it will take some experimenting. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery/page/2#post-1763520 Wed, 28 Dec 2016 15:27:23 +0000 Tanya 1763520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for all the interesting replies, ladies.&nbsp; It seems that we have two groups, those who really like it and those who will stay away from it.&nbsp; No surprises there.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>I was doing a little closer reorganization yesterday an realized I already have an item with some greenery in it - a patterned silk BR blouse.&nbsp; I chose the blouse for the purples, not the greens, but nevertheless there it is, so that will be my main nod to the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery/page/2#post-1763510 Wed, 28 Dec 2016 14:50:59 +0000 cheryl 1763510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and wear it happily </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery/page/2#post-1763430 Wed, 28 Dec 2016 00:34:36 +0000 Sal 1763430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and would wear it (with white or denim I suspect mostly). &nbsp;I would love a sweater in this colour, it would be perfect for spring for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery/page/2#post-1763417 Tue, 27 Dec 2016 21:25:32 +0000 Charley 1763417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!&nbsp; But it will probably only be worn as accessories or patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery/page/2#post-1763412 Tue, 27 Dec 2016 20:45:52 +0000 Tisa 1763412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not my colour.

That combined with my coloring makes me think it won't tempt me much. We'll see....&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery#post-1763105 Mon, 26 Dec 2016 01:36:05 +0000 Jules 1763105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's just shy of being the slightly yellower green I love and wore a lot when I was younger and it was more available. These days I'd be looking to wear it in a pattern, textured etc - probably not full-on flat, solid pieces for me. I'm taking full advantage of the green trend in kitchen accessories and other decor items, however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery#post-1763092 Mon, 26 Dec 2016 00:04:26 +0000 cindysmith 1763092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, Pantone and the color of the year don't mean much to me because they never pick any colors I like to wear except for that one year that they picked "iris blue". Like, I wish they'd pick "dirt" or "this is what a white shirt looks like after Cindy wears it for 3.2 seconds" or "these pants were blue until somebody got messy with the bleach"<br /> I'd even be happy with "nuclear winter sky grey"</p> <p>But NOOOOOOOO, it has to be "greenery", and greenery is green, which is never flattering on me if it's anywhere near my face. So I guess I'll Just have to be out of fashion with my dirt colored pants and my "this is what a white shirt looks like after Cindy wears it for 3.2 seconds" shirt LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery#post-1763046 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 16:05:12 +0000 minimalist 1763046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crocs and a rubber beach tote?

Like a Granny Smith. I do like it if it stays short of getting too yellow-y and lime-y. I always used to be tempted by that color when I was painting bedrooms :)</p> <p>I don't think I look particularly good in that color. I could see people like Angie rocking it. Great color for blondes. I will enjoy it on you all.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery#post-1763021 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 12:01:17 +0000 Style Fan 1763021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and I are on the same page when it comes to this colour.</p> <p><b>LOVE!!!!!!!!!</p> <p></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery#post-1762829 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 01:53:54 +0000 Anonymous 1762829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a blazer close to this color that got lots of compliments because the color worked on me.

For example, I looked and looked for interesting green cashmere sweaters for over two years and finally began buying men's cashmere sweaters on eBay...until this winter when some decent olives and dark hunter greens came around. (Thank you Boden and Uniqlo)</p> <p>I enjoy this green but, for me, it will need to be made up in really high quality fabrics. Otherwise I feel strange in a color that's this bold.</p> <p>My home is full of lots of greens and I really love to mix them all -- been a fan of this look since the 70's. Possibly reminds me of my grandmother's home... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-color-of-2017---greenery#post-1762824 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 01:16:24 +0000 Traci 1762824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learned to never say never with Pantone colors after marsala. &nbsp;When marsala was first announced I found it so bland and uninteresting and by the end of the year I was buying everything in that color and still am. </p>
