PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, a lively, radiant, lush green, is
the Color of the Year for 2013.
The 2012 color of the year, PANTONE 17-1463 Tangerine Tango,
a spirited reddish orange, provided the energy boost we needed to recharge and
move forward. Emerald, a vivid verdant green, enhances our sense of well-being
further by inspiring insight as well as promoting balance and harmony.
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. 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.
"The most abundant hue in nature, the human eye sees
more green than any other color in the spectrum," said Leatrice Eiseman,
executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "As it has throughout
history, multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate. Symbolically,
Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so
important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally-appealing
tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors."
