2017 North American Key Color

The Color Marketing Group (CMG) has named Thrive as their Key Color for North America 2017+.

Just as PANTONE picked Greenery ( 15-0343) as their Home + Interiors Color of the Year (COTY) and Kale (18-0107) as a top Spring 2017 Fashion pick, CMG follows suit with a vegetal inspired color.

The CMG posits this yellow-influenced green will establish itself as a colorful symbol for growth, strength and endurance.
