What are the hottest design and fabric trends for 2013?
It’s finally here: the Pantone 2013 color report. Emerald, Pantone 17-5641, has been named color of the year, but as usual, there is an extended color palette, which is sure to please those who love color. The pinks from last year have shifted to reds, the earthy tones of brown are now green and gray, the oranges have been toned down a bit, and a splash of cheery yellow has been thrown into the mix. The deep blue and purple shades from last year are very similar to this year’s selections, which finish off a lovely palette.
This year’s palette, full of soothing neutrals and energizing brights include Emerald, Grayed Jade, African Violet, Monaco Blue, Nectarine, Poppy Red, Linen, Lemon Zest, Alloy, Tidal Foam, Sunflower, Vibrant Orange, Tender Shoots and Dusk Blue. With 14 gorgeous colors such as these, the possibilities are endless as to what you can do in regards to a home decor update.
