So, every year for a while now, pantone tells us what the color of the year is. Most times, I mock it. If you were to google "pantone color of the year" right now, links would fill the left side of your screen, and a big block of 2012's "Tangerine Tango" will pop up on the right. And it certainly does pop! But this coming year, the new color of the moment is.... emerald! It's the first green in this series of "colors of the year"(which as far as I can tell started in 2000), and near to my favorite shade of the stuff!
Maybe now it won't be so hard to find things I want in not lime green or hunter...
How much better could this be in a pure jewel tone, or kelly green?
For more about why emerald is awesome, click for the short attention span Washington post write up (with a pretty cool dress featured), or the pantone official version.
And now, links to some of my favorite green things that exist on the internet, but are never around when I go looking for them in person. Because the photo option won't work on this computer, for whatever reason...
Sparkly shoes
Velvet shoes!
Corduroy jacket
I'm sure it will be a year of being frustrated by the series of options out there, as usual. I'll probably still see plenty of "uuugggh, why did they combine it with THAT color?". But knowing that there will even be any more emerald out there makes me incredibly happy.
