Pantone’s Emerald Green and Spring 2013
There’s been a lot of debate over what Pantone is calling “Emerald Green.” PANTONE 17-5641, Emerald Green, is the color for 2013. It really looks more like a teal green to me. I like it, but I’m not planning on going nuts with this color. I think I will focus on the complimentary tones for Spring 2013 and use Emerald Green for highlights.

Here are the gorgeous colors Pantone has come out with for Spring 2013 Fashion Color Trends:

Emerald Green - 17-5641
Grayed Jade - 14-6011
Tender Shoots - 14-0446
Dusk Blue - 16-4120
Monaco Blue - 19-3964
African Violet - 16-3520
Nectarine - 16-1360
Lemon Zest - 13-0756
Poppy Red - 17-1664
Here’s a delightful creamy photo from a slideshow on Pantone’s website that is sure to make anyone excited about Emerald Green:

I’m excited to see what amazing items folks are going to create!
