Marrs Green is the world favourite colour!! How did the world vote for this colour? An online survey receiving 30,000 submissions conducted by a paper company GF Smith. The colour was named after the lady who originally picked the colour Annie Marrs, who was inspired by the Scottish landscape and the River Tay combining deep green hues with a tinge of blue. The news of the “World’s favourite colour” was announced in Hull, this year’s UK City of Culture, via an explosion of paper helicopters over the city’s Humber Street.
It makes sense that the combination of blue and green evoked emotion in people. Green symbolises nature, health, new beginnings, wealth and relaxes the eye. Blue is calming, friendly and inspires trust. The combination of colours suggests the shades success with people wanting to feel the serenity and the warmth that the colour celebrates.
Although Marrs green has been voted “the colour” more green than blue is showing up in trends. The colour Greenery was pantone’s 2017 colour of the year. Think nature rather than envy, green is trending and presenting in fashion and interiors.
A pop-up shop is selling a range of products from brands including Tokyo Bike and Anglepoise, all customised in the Marrs Green shade.
