Don’t let the winter blues get you down. Start your journey for the New Year thinking green. Freshen your home from monochromatic to magnificent with enchanting Emerald.
Pantone, the authority on professional color standards for the design industry, has named Emerald green as the color of 2013. For centuries, Emerald has been seen as a color of beauty and elegance across all cultures. As the most abundant color in nature, green brings a sense of rejuvenation and new beginnings. This jewel-toned hue will re-energize any space. Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone’s research department describes Emerald as, “a balanced color…it’s a color of growth, renewal, healing, unity and regeneration — words we’re all so in need of at this point of history.”
I see Emerald as a richer tone as compared to other greens. It shouts sophistication, style, and confidence. Because it is such a strong color, Emerald needs to be used thoughtfully. From walls to accessories, see how shades of emerald can brighten up your space.
