In case you haven't heard, the new color of the year is....ta-da...EMERALD GREEN!
Yes, Pantone has come out with this years color, and we are rolling in green.
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. It’s 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.
“Green
is 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.”
