And the Pantone colour of the year for 2017 is...
The Pantone colour of Spring 2017 has been announced, and it’s a beautiful bright shade called Greenery. Well, its official name is 15-0343 TCX Greenery.
The hue - a Kermit the frog-esque green - is described as a “fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring”.
Ahhh how nice.
Let's face it - after the year we've had (celebrity deaths, Brexit and Trump), we definitely need a spring in our step.
Here's how the Internet has reacted so far:

What do you think of the hue? Like it?
Fancy going for brights? We love how these celebrities rock bold eyes and bold lips...

Getty ImagesLily Collins dares to go bold with matching red lips and eyes. Somehow, she manages to pull it off with total ease.
Getty ImagesThis is probably the most daring beauty look we've seen in a while. Evan Rachel Wood has thrown out the rule book and has teamed a bright red lip with pink, purple and yellow gold eyeshadow. And if that wasn't enough, she completed the look with a bold blush. Major points for being daring.
GettyA great way to wear this trend is in a vintage fashion, like Demi Lovato. Take note of her pared-down complexion.

Getty ImagesDon’t be afraid to pair a vampy lip with slightly smoked-out eyes. Just make sure it’s clean and neat and it will work just fine.
Getty ImagesA blue lip sounds scary on its own, yet alone worn with a slightly smoky eye. But if you wear it bravely like Lupita, you can own it.

Getty ImagesAdmittedly not for the shy among us, a bright pink lip colour can work with a dark smoky eye. You just need to have the confidence to pull it off, a la Gwen…
GettyA great way to draw attention to your lips and your eyes is by using clever designs, like Natasha Poly. Instead of coating lashes in thick mascara and lining her eyes with kohl, she created a simple yet effective smoky eye on her upper lids.
GettyProof that you can wear a smoky eye with a retro red lip? All you need to do is look at Perrie Edwards…
Getty ImagesHow clever is Scarlett Johansson's look? She’s subtly lined her eyes with kohl but made her peepers stand out with gold hues in the inner corner. Her lips and eyes really compliment each other, despite both being bold.
GettyIf anyone can pull this off, it’s Queen Bey (OFC). We adore her kohl-lined eyes and slightly glossy berry lips.
Rex FeaturesOlivia Wilde has become a bit of a makeup icon for us lately. This is largely due to the fact she wears bold shades and mixes things up, giving her look an edge. How perfect are her bright golden eyes and red pout?!
PA photosAustralian actress Teresa Palmer makes this trend look flawless. She combines her vibrant hot pink lips with a feline flick and gorgeous shadow.
