ONE COLOR TREND AND MANY NAMES

Actually this isn't completly new to the most of us. The "green trend" was preticted by designer and trend researcher for quite some years.

Pantone announced her color of the year 2017 "Greenery" and it pops up in every corner of fashion, architecture, graphic design or interior design.

The only thing that is different with "Marss Green" is its naming!

Artists often speak of a cyan, webdesigners call it teal. In fashion stores would might ask for petrol.

On the streets people sometimes just call it turquoise.

No matter how they call it. We really like it and are pretty sure it will stick around for quite a while!

Here's how the most popular color of the world is produced.
