Color of the Year 2021

While the Pantone Color of the Year definitely takes the top spot as a trend predictor, there are several other players in the COTY game worth paying attention to. After the year we’ve all had, it’s no surprise that people are concerned with their security and comfort, but there’s also still plenty of hope for a brighter future. These color picks definitely reflect those contrasting, yet related feelings that are permeating our society right now. Pantone: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating This is the second time that Pantone has chosen two colors to share the title of Color of the Year. 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and 13-0647 Illuminating are perfectly complementary and support the themes of stability and optimism. The cool gray brings to...

Savannah Real Estate Market: What to look forward to in 2021

I’m one of those people who gets irritated when I see Christmas decorations on store shelves in October. Even my boys, who can’t wait for Christmas every year, comment on its absurdity. I’m of the opinion that we should take the time to appreciate the present moment, to the extent that we can, and celebrate the gifts of each season. So, I feel like a bit of a hypocrite about writing the market forecast for 2021 when we’re still in December and in the thick of the holiday season. Part of me, I guess, wants 2020 to be over and the optimist in me believes that 2021 will be a better year than the last. But, alas, this is my m.o....

The Return of the Home Office

With so many people still working primarily from home, and children attending classes virtually, the demand for a dedicated home office space has risen exponentially over the past few months. No matter how much space you have, or what your decorating style, there is a work-from-home setup that will work for you. The Den For some, nothing less than a designated room will do. A private sanctum where you can duck away from it all in relative quiet is a necessity for back to back Zoom meetings and virtual collaborations. Perhaps you need to have shelves of reference books readily available or tools of the trade close at hand. You may want space for a desk, chairs for visitors, and a side...

Pantone names 2017 Color of the Year

Color company Pantone has knighted the color Greenery as the 2017 Color of the Year. It’s a “fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of Spring,” Pantone explains. The shade has a softness that makes it calming, but enough body to make it interesting and give it presence. Greenery works well with many palettes, from soft pastels to bright or deep colors to earth tones and more. Pantone calls Greenery “nature’s neutral.” The company has compiled 10 dramatically different palettes for Greenery, each with at least 10 colors, to show its range. The corporation’s proprietary color matching system is used in many industries. Pantone tries to capture the zeitgeist with its Color of the Year, and it draws from...
