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.

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)

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..
