"Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color
of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and
harmony." - Pantone on
Emerald, Color of the Year for 2013
Emerald Green is Pantone's color of
the year, and in our research, we have developed a new-found appreciation for
this rich and lively shade. We're taken with how it demands one's
attention, yet still gives a sense of elegance and calm.
Green is a commanding color, but it
can just as easily evoke the serenity of nature found in quiet pastures or
majestic forests. This brilliant hue has captured our imagination and
stimulated ideas on how to best utilize within the realm of home decor.

The striking accent chair conveys a refined grace with its marbleized upholstery in radiant shades of emerald green.

creates a more tranquil setting using green throughout the walls and dining
chairs, but with softer shades of emerald. A glistening gold chandelier
brightens the room while flattering the serene greens.
