Colour report: Is kale the new black?

It's universally flattering and surprisingly easy to wear.

It’s the go-to veg for smoothies, salads, and snacks, it’s popping up in skincare products, and now, kale is entering the realm of fashion. Well, beyond Beyonce’s “7/11” sweatshirt, that is.
The colour experts at Pantone have deemed Kale to be one of the “it” shades for 2017, and we couldn’t be happier. Similar to an olive green but with a cooler blue undertone, kale is universally flattering and surprisingly easy to wear.

Evocative of the great outdoors and a healthy lifestyle, Kale is another foliage-based green that conjures up our desire to connect to nature, similar to the more vivacious Greenery. And, just as we see in nature, this lush and fertile natural green shade provides the perfect complementary background to the more vibrant tones in the palette – www.pantone.com
