Pantone recently announced their “Color of the Year” for 2017, entitled Greenery, and by their own admission it was a total no-brainer.

Brand Focus: John Robshaw Textiles
[Photo courtesy of John Robshaw Textiles.] From the moment we first encountered John Robshaw’s textiles at market, we felt transported to a foreign, yet familiar place.
