Drumroll, please! Pantone 17-5641 Emerald has been named Pantone’s 2013 Color of The Year. It is lively, radiant and lush, so I am pleased it will be popping up in homes and businesses around the country. Emerald can be used as a splash of color in accessories or applied directly to the walls for a dramatic punch.

Check out these uses of emerald green, and let me know your favorite! So invest in emerald when thinking of your upcoming decorating or renovations. Who knows? It just may be your perfect color this spring!
