You may remember I
predicted Kelly Green as Pantone's choice for 2013's Color of the Year and I was not too far off. Pantone recently
announced Emerald as the color of the year! Emerald is "a vivid verdant green, enhances our sense of well-being
further by inspiring insight as well as promoting balance and harmony." Emerald is also the birthstone for those born in May so if any of you have emerald color jewels laying around the house, feel free to rock it even more this year.
Last year's Tangerine Tango showed up in both makeup and fashion on both the runways and fashionistas alike but I would not hold my breath for an Emerald lipstick to pop up anytime soon. I am looking forward to how designers will be interpreting this color on the runway as Fashion Week is approaching next month. I already see emerald being paired with graphic black and white for a nice crisp tailored look for work and with chambray for a more laid back casual flair. The color would also look great next to a deep eggplant purple, citron yellow and any shade of blue. I would steer clear of pairing it with browns as you'll end up looking like: (a) you're ready to hop in the Mystery Machine with Scooby and the gang or (b) a tree.
What do you think of the Pantone's pick for Color of the Year and will you be incorporating this color into your wardrobe?
