Celebrating the Pantone colour of the year

Here it is ladies and gents. The design powers that be have announced the Pantone colour of the year is Emerald – or colour 17-5641 to be exact. Announcing the colour for 2013, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman stated “Green is the most abundant hue in nature – the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum.”  So be-gone Tangerine Tango (colour of 2012)! Expect to see all hues of green popping up in fashion, homewares and interior design throughout this year. Whilst we don’t tend to celebrate passing fads, I have compiled a collection of green products (in colour and design!) we have at State of Green, that may just give you the on-trend coloured accent you need this year, and will last many more to come!
