EMERALD;THE COLOUR FOR 2013

Every December, Pantone, the provider of professional colour standards to the design industries, announces its colour forecast for the following year. 2012 saw Tangerine Tango in the frame, and the hue for 2013 has been announced as emerald. 

"The most abundant hue in nature, the human eye sees more green than any other colour" explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Colour Institute of the shade, adding: "This powerful and universally-appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors." 

Pantone's Institute combs the world of entertainment to travel, sports events to new textile developments - looking for colour influences. The fashion world's adoption of green also plays a part: its recent rise on the red carpet and on the catwalks, and in men's sportswear knitwear and ties, add to Pantone's belief that emerald will "continue to make a statement beyond spring and summer into fall and winter." 

Take a look at how the catwalk has interpreted the emerald colour trend.

EMERALDS

No one Carry's off a black gown quite as well as Angelina Jolie.  Who can forget the Oscars 2009, when her black gown when from bore to roar with the addition of pear drop Emerald earrings.  We all gasped at how stunning she looked. Since then there have been many imitators.

The tip here is that you also can take your LBD from drab to fab by donning statement jewellery to make your look really pop.
