So, what do you think?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">So the colour of the year for 2013 is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Emerald Green</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">, according to Pantone. I was quite surprised actually, as the early money was on Monaco Blue - and as you know, it's one of my favourites. But I have to say, I do love Emerald - it's strong and distinctive and not for the feint-hearted. Used wisely, it's a show-stopper. Used not-so-wisely, it's a hot mess. So I hope you think my new range of emerald sea corals is firmly in the first category....</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAP1jqtZu4gKGXvqBlpBHyWXWUVdJeVkNynrLuWBnji1GlYUS8v2JnlQLf-csQ3IVLshq0R603EOWGLtuFcHMOqvdlrTQgjQdmSPfrpBqWpk7aM7lR5m6bVo52DStHhYJhX0qGAekuzd_7/s1600/coral+series+in+emerald+in+situ+crop+watermarked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAP1jqtZu4gKGXvqBlpBHyWXWUVdJeVkNynrLuWBnji1GlYUS8v2JnlQLf-csQ3IVLshq0R603EOWGLtuFcHMOqvdlrTQgjQdmSPfrpBqWpk7aM7lR5m6bVo52DStHhYJhX0qGAekuzd_7/s640/coral+series+in+emerald+in+situ+crop+watermarked.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">My Oceana Series in Emerald Green</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">for sale in my <a href="http://www.driftwoodinteriors.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy Store</a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I've put together some pics to show how lovely emerald can look. For me, I like it best when used as a pop of colour - the supporting act rather than the lead. A little can go a long way, but if you're game, it can really pay off - as the following pics show...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"></span></div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">How gorgeous is this emerald chinoiserie wallpaper? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">It's in the home of the lovely Dagny of <a href="http://www.scandinavianchic.com/2010/06/laundry-room-before-and-after.html" target="_blank">Scandinavian Chic</a>, and I was smitten the minute I saw it. It's the perfect solution if you're a little scared of colour - a smaller space, away from the main living area is a great place to test the waters....</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GqZO6WtdI8ToYFtidyumEisdy8ndaN0wxT9Bjw6AyC51KdRlIPk1YJyGl1Zy9UZfNnfsSa-1UFOuQ0jL64i9hUflQGrfQs6fqRHLHseOPwGSKQZSuZT5xdxT5BJW6HKt4inS3U5svx6F/s1600/Dagnys+hus+010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GqZO6WtdI8ToYFtidyumEisdy8ndaN0wxT9Bjw6AyC51KdRlIPk1YJyGl1Zy9UZfNnfsSa-1UFOuQ0jL64i9hUflQGrfQs6fqRHLHseOPwGSKQZSuZT5xdxT5BJW6HKt4inS3U5svx6F/s640/Dagnys+hus+010.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">f you want to make a softer statement, try pairing it with soft tones of greens and blues - it lessens the impact and is soothing rather than strong...</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAR-blE8uwapSiV-LyK1BTRydHLGDv5phaX1fzv1ByP7CInflBdQTLB_lGobZMVWMWBH7XJyNxyquvnlNgghsid5PlKYiCsUEl1xF17tcXsNMz6OAPHpjpUdvudcrOwv9azhGjjOtJYxPY/s1600/creamylife1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAR-blE8uwapSiV-LyK1BTRydHLGDv5phaX1fzv1ByP7CInflBdQTLB_lGobZMVWMWBH7XJyNxyquvnlNgghsid5PlKYiCsUEl1xF17tcXsNMz6OAPHpjpUdvudcrOwv9azhGjjOtJYxPY/s640/creamylife1.jpg" width="434" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"><a href="http://www.creamylife.com/" target="_blank">via</a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Here, the island is the stand-out, with the green repeated in the wallpaper pattern for a cohesive look...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwVkEd9o9NAZZjXtCYGI0zfF18f56NmVuV-62dFzOKU2kZnw-1oEZrU8oo3TGba5bMIp6ycS7HnGwpkBFrB6v8j1qrTuSqeQUImJ7Xij-IkM0P7NcL-j3RdzVJx70A0Fkt1AqRUt3N2Dyz/s1600/DP_O-Interior-Design-white-kitchen-with-blue-green-accents_s4x3_lg_lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwVkEd9o9NAZZjXtCYGI0zfF18f56NmVuV-62dFzOKU2kZnw-1oEZrU8oo3TGba5bMIp6ycS7HnGwpkBFrB6v8j1qrTuSqeQUImJ7Xij-IkM0P7NcL-j3RdzVJx70A0Fkt1AqRUt3N2Dyz/s640/DP_O-Interior-Design-white-kitchen-with-blue-green-accents_s4x3_lg_lg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"><a href="http://www.ointeriordesign.com/" target="_blank">via</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I love emerald with a grey background - it takes it down a notch yet still packs a punch.

So, what do you think?

So the colour of the year for 2013 is Emerald Green, according to Pantone. I was quite surprised actually, as the early money was on Monaco Blue - and as you know, it's one of my favourites. But I have to say, I do love Emerald - it's strong and distinctive and not for the feint-hearted. Used wisely…
