It’s Easy Being Emerald Green

Kermit once famously said it’s not easy being green … but we totally disagree. Now that Pantone announced its official color of 2013 as Emerald Green, fashion brands and beauty companies are rolling out all their best emerald clothes and cosmetics … so it’s never been easier to be fabulously green.

Every year Pantone announces a color of the year (2012 was all about “Tangerine Tango”), and we couldn’t be more excited about 2013’s gorgeous shade. How exactly does Pantone decide on what color will be the hottest hue? It’s a semi-boring process involving polling fashion, interior, and other designer brands about the colors they are working with the most, and then … boom … you’ve got your Official Color of the Year.

Now that we know what next year’s “it” color is, we’ve rounded up our very favorite emerald green fashion and beauty picks. It’s still 2012, so stay ahead of the game and try out an emerald green nail polish or pair your skinny jeans with suede green booties.

Sure, green may be the color of envy, but it looks good on you.
