“Within the 2017 palette, we see an evolution of an assortment
of colored dark shades inspired by nature”, said Mary Lawlor,
Manager of Color Marketing. “The choosing of Kettleman by the
design community as COTY 2017 validates the importance of this
trend.” Lawlor continued.
The 2017 COTY runners-up were: Trade Secret KM4860, Silver
Blueberry KM4994, and Sea Glass KM4851. An enlightening trend
