2013 Color Of The Year

Introducing the Color Of The Year- Emerald. Did you know there was actually a thing? I pay attention to trends because I'm interested in fashion- and yet I never knew how all the fashion designers agree on a color and run with it. I always knew there just happened to be a color they were all using- but to know it's more than just coincidence is enlightening! I kinda want to bookmark their website. Do they all get in a room and conspire to put us all in one color each year?

Apparently Pantone is the world-renowned authority on color. For nearly 50 years they claim to have been inspiring designers. They influence not only fashion- but textiles and furnishings. The designers use the Pantone Color System each year- which consists of 21-hundred colors in cotton or paper format to find "The" color of the year. I'm still envisioning a group of big time designers in a room- rubbing their hands together with a devious grin saying "Ahhhhh greeen, yessss, EMERALDDDD!!" with a cackling laugh.

So, I'm kinda excited about this color. I do love jewel tones and I just happened to buy so me emerald jewelry and strappy pumps recently! BAM- I'm a trendsetter!
