Inspired By | Emerald

It was announced last week- Pantone's official color of the year is Emerald, otherwise known as color # 17-5461. But we know her better as a striking, jeweled lovely that seems to make every skin tone shine. Use the shade along with complementary colors like fuschia, purple, and cobalt, and don't be afraid to pair it with gold either. Black creates a bold statement and peach quenches our thirst for warmer spring and summer days. No matter what color pairing you choose, we can't say enough about emerald.
