Emerald, Pantone®’s new Tangerine Tango!
So happy to hear Emerald – one of my favorite colors – is Pantone®’s color for 2013! What a beautiful shade for interiors, much easier to work with than last year’s Tangerine Tango.
According to Pantone, “the perception of Emerald is sophisticated and luxurious. Since antiquity, this luminous, magnificent hue has been the color of beauty and new life in many cultures and religions. It’s also the color of growth, renewal and prosperity – no other color conveys regeneration more than green.”
During our recent “regeneration” trip to India, Walter and I visited several of our vendors in Jaipur, a city world-renown for its hand-printed textiles and its gem cutting and polishing. And do I love both.
After a day of meetings with textile vendors and seeing final samples of our Spring 2013 bedding collection, we set off to shop the “Pink City.”
At the recommendation of one of our key rug vendors, we visited his brother-in-law’s antique and jewelry store – totally eye candy. Needless to say, I fell in love with so many things; especially the emeralds. So I left Jaipur with two colorful experiences – seeing our new Spring 2013 bedding collection that reflects Pantone’s 2013 color of the year and a beautiful emerald trinket as a reminder.
Get ready for renewal and prosperity in 2013 with Pantone®’s EMERALD color of the year!
Happy Holidays,
Chris
Boudoir Style
Our new Gretchen bedding was inspired by a vintage dress we found at the Brimfield Antiques market. The overscaled brushstroke design is painted in shades of Julep and Emerald!
Style tip: I love the Julep/Emerald colors with crisp white percale for a fresh Spring and Summer style.
Fashion Color
Add style and color to any room with our new curvy Olivia chair. She’s available in February at all Company C Retail and Lifestyle Partner stores.
Style tip: Paint the curves with Benjamin Moore™’s Emerald Isle 2039-20 and upholster in Company C’s crisp white Nori Snow fabric.

Why not add color and zip to your next party with a signature color of the year drink?
