Pantone, LLC, the global authority on color and the leading provider of professional color standards for industries involved in design announced that the Color of the Year for 2013 is emerald, a lively, lush and radiant color of the green family. Often associated with the brilliant, precious gemstones, it is perceived as a luxurious and sophisticated color. It represents beauty and life to many cultures of the world. It is also the color of growth, renewal and prosperity. It is also representative of healing and unity, two concepts that we direly need these days.
In the fashion industry, the color green has been steadily rising for several seasons, especially in the couture markets. Green usually looks good with bright colors. It goes well with bold yellows and pale oranges. It can be mixed with purples, blues and reds. It looks fantastic when paired with gold. It can work well with grays and whites. Muted yellows also work well with this green hue.
The classic elegance of emerald is a color that creates a striking and irresistible look for formal wear, everyday wear and accessories. Ties and knitwear in emerald can make a strong statement for menswear. The spring collections of many designers for 2013 will incorporate the color emerald. Without a doubt, emerald will enliven the colors of summer, fall and winter collections of 2013 as well.
