Then watching Steven and Chris today they mentioned Pantone. Most of us have probably not heard of Pantone, I know I hadn't and as an avid follower of home décor and fashion I am surprised this name has never came up. Turns out Pantone is our colour god, their website states they are "the world-renowned authority on color."
What does this mean to us? It means that instead of waiting for a magazine or tv show to tell us what the trend in colour is, we can look it up for ourself. So, what is the colour of the year for 2013? Green, Emerald green to be exact. An emerald is a gemstone and has long be the symbol of hope, but Pantone describes their version of emerald as "Lively. Radiant. Lush...A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."
Sounds great to me!
I would love to see men embracing this new colour, more that last years Tangerine Tango. We can already see it in the stores in small dose in plaids and paisley but I expect a greater pop showing up in stores as winter progresses. If you shy away from intense colours I would say give Emerald shoes a try with a neutral outfit for women (I love nothing more then a little black dress and a bold shoe) and men try a pale Emerald shirt with a patterned tie that picks up more of the brighter green.
How will you be incorporating the colour of the year?
