I like that color just because it's happy. I like it in gardening and flower arrangements mixed with pinks Reds and darker greens.
For clothing I like bits of it in prints. I can't wear swathes of it.
Thank you very much for all the interesting replies, ladies. It seems that we have two groups, those who really like it and those who will stay away from it. No surprises there.
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. 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.
I like it - and am looking at green in a few other shades for spring too. That and pink are going to be my focus for both clothing and home decor for next season . Both colours will be trending in home decor (think plants and greenery too ) and when I like it for my house, i usually like it for myself. I think that particular shade of green is beautiful - and it will be interesting to see how it's made available at retail and in what form. I have a new suede bag in this green that I bought a few months ago and haven't used yet - I'm saving it for March and April . The Pantone green could be odd right up against the face for many of us - but with everything, it will take some experimenting.
Greenery is a little too sour/yellow green for me to want to wear that exact shade, but I'm all for a green color of the year and hope that this means we'll see other prominent, saturated greens as well.
(This color and the company that selected it is also connected to my professional life in a couple of ways, which makes it extra fun.)
(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.
If you're one whose skin sings against these yellow-rich shades, enjoy this color! I'll wave to you from the bench.
I have exactly one item (a patent leather handbag) in this color. 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.
Oh, thank you for posting this. I love this color--one of my absolute favorites!! I'm hoping the stores in Denver hop on board. They haven't been too influenced by Pantone for several years now.
