Every December, Pantone chooses one color that they deem the “Color of the Year” for the upcoming year. This year it seems as though the "green movement" has taken on a new fashion hue: EMERALD GREEN. That's right, the very popular color for precious gemstones and fine jewelry will grace so much more!
Emerald green was chosen because it symbolizes growth, renewal, prosperity and healing, according to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone. “As it has throughout history, multifaceted emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate,” Eiseman said in a news release. “Symbolically, emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world. This powerful and universally appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors.” “It's the most abundant hue in nature...and the human eye sees more green than any other color.”
In fashion, Pantone predicts it will be popular in formal and everyday wear as well as accessories. The color was all over the runways for Spring! Will it end up in YOUR closet?
