{Color Cues} Emerald: Pantone 2013 Color of the Year

This past Fall, Pantone named Emerald the official color of 2013.  With it’s deep, rich, and varied tones, emerald works in so many ways.

The entire Spring 2013 pallette is full of great picks and inspiration.

We’ve seen it BIG in fashion recently, and I’m sure it will crop up in a million other places as the year progresses.

Where I’m really excited to see this trend take shape is in home decor.  Here’s some inspiring photos to get the wheels turning on how you can incorporate this ‘It’ color in your own homes.
