Pantone announced their color of the year is EMERALD, describing it as "Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."
Emerald is a sophisticated bluish green tone associated with luxury and prosperity.
The color appeals to the fashion world and translates well to home fashion and interiors communicating a message of renewal, healing and unity. Green is the most dominant color in nature and being in the center of the spectrum, it is the color of balance.

Benjamin Moore color of the year for 2013 is Lemon Sorbet 2019-60- a warm and creamy citrus yellow which pairs wonderfully with warmer gray.
It’s the perfect color to partner with the emerging saturated colors, working well with the mints, corals, and grays. This uplifting color will appeal to a diverse group, complementing and balancing most palettes.
Minty retro color ALOE is the Sherwin Williams pick for 2013 and looks fabulous with emerald!
Moroccan: this trendy design style combines a union of the best Moorish and European influences- adding a bit of mystery and sophistication to a space.
It's easy to find and fall in love with Moroccan patterns and designs! Traditionally, these are heavy and ornate, but there are many modern products, fabrics and accessories on the market now, which have a lighter feel. The key to a successful Moroccan theme is to select one large element, such as a wall pattern, area rug, or large piece of furniture. A few smaller accessories or details can be added, but control your seduction by this trend and refrain from overdoing it! Moroccan patterned wall stencils can be very dramatic- especially when using metallic paint. This stencil is from Cutting Edge Stencils.
