Sophisticated, radiant, and luxurious, Emerald (Pantone’s Color of the Year 2013) makes a statement from runway trends to home accents. A color often associated with growth and prosperity, Emerald has influenced home and furniture design, inspired jewel-tone statement walls and encouraged classic accent pieces.

While Emerald stands strong as a rich, vibrant shade, many other greens (ranging from light greens to blue-greens to olive hues) have also been popular, often paired with light grays, whites, soft blues and muted yellows in interior design for a calming (and chic) environment. Give a new meaning to "going green" by letting this shade inspire your aesthetic.
