The Color for 2013 is...

Pantone  just announced THE color of the year for 2013. It's Emerald 17-5641.

This color is one of my faves.  I liked the color for 2012, well enough, and I was also a big fan of the color for 2010, but Emerald 17-5641 just makes me giddy.

Seriously.

Remember the scene when we get a glance at this?

It was the dearest wish of my six-year-old heart to cross that poppy field and go with Dorothy and the gang to see what treasures the Emerald City would hold. All that glittery green was so beautiful. MGM really got it right.

So here's to Emerald. I think I'll wear my Magic Shoes to celebrate!
