Emerald Green Pantone Colour of the Year 2013

Sharing is caring!

I’m really excited about the recently announced colour of the year, as decided by Pantone for 2013—Emerald! This gorgeous jewel-tone will be seen a lot in the coming year, but given that it is the holiday season—I’m sure you’re seeing a lot of this colour this year, too. One of the things I love about the emerald colour choice is that there are so many shade variations. Another thing I love is that emerald is a colour seen in nature—as in the gemstone, but also in trees and grass.

Emerald makes me think of eco-friendliness, nature, and the Wizard of Oz.

Despite the rain (a white Christmas seems unlikely in North Vancouver), I went down to Cate’s Park, which is a gorgeous park with beach access, places to picnic, woodsy paths through the trees, and lovely mountain views. Other than a few people walking their dogs, the park was fairly empty. I took the opportunity to snap some pictures of the trees and other greenery, which were all emerald coloured.
