Emerald

I think the whole idea of a ‘Color of the year’ is a bit silly, do you? The concept of ‘trends’ in general is pretty enigmatic to me and it feels contrived to select one color above all of the others for a random stretch of time to be THE color. Buuuuut seeing as though Panton does name a Color of the Year, and 2013′s color just so happens to be emerald green, and emerald green is one of the most jungalicious of all the colors, I couldn’t help but do a post about it. I mean, not to toot my own horn or anything, but my kitchen has been emerald green since, like, 2011

See? The color we used here is Mint Sprig, by Behr.

Here are some of my favorite emerald finds:

 Pouf
Faceted mirror 
Rare Verner Panton Pantonova Seat 
Green Hair Man Magnet by Irene Ronin
Dress  
Sundae Glasses
Hemmerle Earrings

   Color of the year, huh. I am so fond of all color, when asked it is always so hard to chose one favorite. I think I could find any given color at my house on a moments notice. So I guess that makes me always on trend.

   I’m with you all the way through on this one. You’re obviously way ahead of the trend. In fact, they probably got it from you! I do love emerald green though. It makes me think of The Wiz for some reason. I’m super jealous of your green accent window!

   I have been admiring the shelves in your window for a while now. I have the perfect window for it and can’t wait to use this as my inspiration!
