Color of the year 2013 Emerald PANTONE 17-5641



In 2012 the color of the year was Tangerine Tango. This year we are indulging in Emerald.

Pantone has influenced almost every field when it comes to announcing the color of the  year. Fashion, interior design, graphic multimedia and industrial design will embrace this new color. 

Color has the power to change our emotions, mood, style, and attitude. Yellow in it’s shades represents, light, optimism, grace, positivism, and class.
Emerald green has been chosen as the perfect color to complement the spring palette. PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, a lively, radiant, lush green, is the Color of the Year for 2013.
Most often associated with brilliant, precious gemstones, the perception of Emerald is sophisticated and luxurious. 
Since antiquity, this luminous, magnificent hue has been the color of beauty and new life in many cultures and religions. It’s also the color of growth, renewal and prosperity – no other color conveys regeneration more than green. For centuries, many countries have chosen green to represent healing and unity.

Emerald for Fashion

The prevalence of green has been steadily rising for several seasons, especially in the fashion and couture markets, and even on the red carpet. Appropriate for every occasion, Emerald’s classic elegance makes for striking and irresistible women’s formal and everyday wear as well as accessories. Emerald also makes a strong statement in men’s sportswear, knitwear and ties. Fashion designers featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Spring 2013, including Tracy Reese, Nanette Lepore, Barbara Tfank, NAHM and Marimekko, are incorporating Emerald into their spring collections. Balanced yet sophisticated, Emerald enlivens all colors in the spectrum and will continue to make a statement beyond spring and summer into fall and winter.
