These pastels are associated with the Christian holiday of Easter. Easter is a time of celebration and happiness in the Christian faith. Like Greenery, the colors of Easter represent new life and rebirth. Pastels are subtle and calming, common in baby clothing designs and dĂŠcor. Babies bring happiness and joy to families just like
green grass and blue skies bring joy in the spring. These colors also represent new life in a newborn baby just as blooming flowers provide a fresh start in the spring. Pastels bring a light, happy, calming feeling to the people surrounding them.

The Just Beachy colors represent the carefree side of life as they are relaxing and refreshing. During spring break, many people travel to the beach for family vacations or romantic getaways. The colors in tropical locales, help people forget about their busy, stressful lives and allow them a restful es-
cape. The light blues and browns are reminiscent of the spring colors and represent earth and life. The oranges, purples, and pinks pop in contrast to the earthy tones and make this palette more lively.

The Vibrant Sunset colors show a more exciting and energizing side to spring. These colors are also represented in nature through sunsets, sunrises and bodies of water. Like the pastels, these vibrant colors are calming but bold and appealing to the eye. Water is always associated with life. Every living thing requires water to survive. Vi-
brant colors, like those found in sunrises and sunsets can be risky but, when used in moderation, provide pleasing accents to any room or dĂŠcor. The colors will make any mood more energetic.
These colors will be popular in the spring of 2017 because they represent the renewal that happens in spring with blue skies, green grass, and new growth. The new Pantone color for 2017, called Greenery, is supposed to symbolize not only new growth in nature, but also the growth and rejuvenation our country needs after
a rough political season. The smell of fresh grass and the sight of puffy clouds in a blue sky, lightens the moods and betters the attitudes of many people while improving their outlook on life. These colors also represent new life and the changes going on around us in our everyday lives.
