Pantone 2013 Color: Emerald

For 2013, Pantone chose Emerald to be the color of the year.

So get ready to bid farewell to Tangerine Tango as the reigning color, and welcome a jewel toned green in its stead. This color is lively too, but in a different way, and it will be easy to add it to your decor.

You can get started right now, even as you celebrate Christmas. Candles, for instance, like Emerald Metallic candles with a shimmery metallic finish from Colonial Candle. They are available in four different sizes and shapes.

Or, for those really passionate about colors, a Pantone coffee mug in Emerald. This is a limited edition mug.
