The Color of 2013: Emerald Green
Obviously I am an excellent color forecaster & pride myself on predicting the new trends in all things design. Or the truth might just be I really like this color & painted our chest of drawers emerald green months back because I thought it would look good.
Either way, trend or not, I am still in love with our Dresser & think that Pantone made a great choice making Emerald Green the color of 2013.
What color is Emerald Green?
Emerald Green lives somewhere between Kelly Green & Hunter Green. A true deep saturated green with slight blue undertones. Perfectly shown in this Vintage Van Cleef cocktail ring.
Personally, I like incorporating Bright Greens with neutrals. Greys, Blacks, Whites & of course Metallics all compliment this color.
& when used en masse, it becomes a neutral itself.
Incorporating this color into your home can be done in multiple ways.

Oh how I love emerald green. Love, love, love. And that cocktail ring is seriously rocking!
i am all over the green. it is my favorite colour decor and otherwise. i am happy to be right on trend right now.
I am totally loving it too! Much more than Pantone colors in year's past. Your dresser is awesome. Meant to comment to tell you how much I love your Christmas decor. I've visited your blog several times oohing and ahhing over it all quite a few times in the last couple of weeks!
I LOVE YOUR DRESSER!! If you don't mind sharing… what color and paint brand did you use????
THANK YOU!!
Thanks Anon… The color is a mix of a few, but the base was Rustoleum's Meadow Green Spray Paint.
Any chance you could specify what colors you used? I'd really like to replicate with a dresser i found!
thanks!
