As it is now tradition in the retail/marketing world,the Color Of The Year derby has been launched…
We start with Pantone: the world-renowned authority on color and provider of color systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of color across a variety of industries. This year’s Pantone Color of the Year is Emerald Green.
After making a splash in Fashion Week, Emerald Green will be finding it’s way into everything that is home decor…

Not to be outdone in the color-of-the-year derby, Sherwin Williams paint company has chosen it’s own color of the year for 2013: Aloe 6464

Also in the running is paint giant Benjamin Moore, who has also selected it’s own color: Lemon Sorbet
Just how influential these color selections will turn out to be? Hard to say. Color forecasters, manufacturers and store buyers DO place a bit of stock in the selections. Partly because the announcements have become something of a marketing frenzy. So what does all this mean in the design world? It means we’ll be seeing a lot more of these hues in men, women’s, and kids’ fashion as well as everything that is home decor.
Hope I’ve inspired.
Till Next Time,
Alba
