2013 Pantone’s Color of the Year: Emerald

 

I love when Pantone comes out with the color for the year as well as the different colors for each season. Emerald is the popular and most daring choice this season. According to Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, green is the most abundant hue in nature. The human eye actually sees more of it than any other color in the spectrum.

I have to say I admire the boldness of emerald and although my living room is painted a soft shade of green I don’t think I would be able to have such a bold color in my house. I am more of a “alloy” kind of girl. What about you?

Green Accents

When decorating you are not limited to bringing a color within the room with only the color of the walls or the fabric of the furniture. In some cases the interior of a room can be neutral and the accent pieces are the ones who bring out color. Few ways of bringing out a color is by changing out the pillows, the table lamps, rugs, art work, and vases.  While we are in the spirit of St. Patrick’s day and the color green here are few things I found online.

Green Rooms

St. Patrick’s day is only few days away. Of course nothing screams St. Patrick’s day but the color green.

Green is everywhere. Green is the color of nature and is seen as tranquil and refreshing. The color green provides piece, sooths, and relaxes you both mentally and physically.  Green is the color of balance, learning, harmony, and of course everyone's favorite money. Green is the associated color of safety worldwide.  Did you know that green was George Washington’s favorite color?

As soon as we moved in I painted the walls of my living room green. Do you have any green in your home?
