It's official. The "color gods" have spoken. Who are these "color gods"? They would be an organization known as Pantone. Pantone, Inc. is the authority on color, provider of color systems and leading technology for accurate communication of color. The market leader in color has officially named Emerald THE color for the year 2013. When I think of emerald a number of things come to mind including: my birthstone, mermaids, deep sea, summer AND then I think about all the other greens and how we use them in our interior environments. One thing I love about green is that it brings outside in. As Pantone notes here it represents regeneration, healing and unity.
Just for fun I thought I'd share with you some of my fave Houzz.com ideabook finds containing the color green.
This is another kind of green that I love. It almost makes me want to wash clothes.
These green marble tops definitely bring the lovely outside in. Hints of brown tie in the warm wood cabinets.
White cabinets are the rage and what better way to highlight them but with a clever shade of green on the walls?
Here's the same color palette, warm wood and green marble. As you can see, it works equally well whether the theme is contemporary or traditional.
