colormix 2012: Greens

Elemental journey: Greens. Color is always on the move, and right now, it's exploring its origins. Sherwin-Williams colormix™ two-thousand-twelve surveys the landscape to find core palettes inspired by Mother Earth.

Video Transcription:

Mother earth, kelp lashed against the shore, chlorophyll pulsing through the leaf deck and Japanese tea even just lightly steeped.

The color of the one home we all share.

The color of nourishment.

This glorious endless menu of you.

Lettuce, forests and foliage.

Canopy, cash, and camouflage.

A golf course spills over the desert.

A lizard sun's himself against a rock.

Green originally meant to grow.

No wonder that when we are you we're new.

Oregon, Africa and the Emerald Isle shining in the sea.

Part yellow, part blue.

We lived generations without purple.

We've never lasted long without you.
