“Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance, and harmony”.
– Pantone 17-5641 Emerald
Pantone has declared EMERALD as the color of 2013 (here) and I absolutely agree, this stunning jewel tone is not only fashion forward but it is amazing for decorating. According to the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute the human eye sees more green than any other color as it is the most abundant hue in nature. The color is synonymous with clarity and rejuvenation Here are some design ideas that have inspired me.
PS. Get REALLY excited because by the end of the weekend Sparkles & Shoes will have a brand new layout with a ton of features you definitely will not want to miss!
