Pantone 2017 Color of the Year

As the holidays approach and the year comes to an end, we anxiously await the big announcement: what will Pantone’s Color of the Year be for 2017? Well, wonder no more! On Thursday, Pantone announced “Greenery” to be the color that will be prevalent throughout fashion, design and our global culture. A color that expresses a fresh start, a return to nature and a reinvigorating energy…we are excited to see what 2017 and Pantone’s new color have in store!

FALL 2016: A Unity of Strength, Confidence and Complexity

"The desire for tranquility, strength, and optimism have inspired a Fall 2016 color palette that is led by the Blue family. Along with anchoring earth tones, exuberant pops of vibrant colors also appear throughout the collections. Transcending gender, these unexpectedly vivacious colors in our Fall 2016 palette act as playful but structured departures from your more typical fall shades.

Blue skies represent constancy as they are always above us. Grays give a feeling of stability, Red tones invite confidence and warmth, while the hot Pinkish Purples and Spicy Mustard Yellows suggest a touch of the exotic."

Leatrice Eiseman
Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute

Photorealistic renders vs retouching


As we continue to expand our proficiencies in post-work and image creation, our Photorealistic renders are on point! Using a combination of rendering from supplied CAD and Illustration files, as well as Photoshop for some massaging and realistic postwork, we are achieving Photorealistic greatness.
