Emerald Green Pantone’s 2013 Color of the Year!

This rich, jewel tone symbolizes luxury and enhances our sense of well-being. If one of your New Year’s resolutions is “to add more Emerald in your life,” Rit is here to help you!  We created custom color recipe #582 for mixing Lemon Yellow and Evening Blue to make a deep Emerald Green. You can find the recipe in the Rit Color Formula Guide on the Green 3 color palette. 

 Emerald Green was first spotted on the runways last year and made a strong fashion statement in everything from shoes to pants and evening gowns. As Color of the Year, this rich, universally appealing color translates easily into interiors as well as beauty products for the eyes and nails.

According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, “Green is the most abundant hue in nature – the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum. As it has throughout history, multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate.  Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world.” 

We found this pretty ruffled top on a sale rack and thought it would make a colorful wardrobe addition for the new year!  Click here for the full tutorial.
