Pantone’s pick

And the prize for most blogged about colour of the year goes to……….you guessed it:

emerald and grey or black

Such a stunner though, I’m delighted the wise folks over at Pantone plucked out this gorgeous brighty as 2013′s inspiration. 

And seeing as every design blogger worth their salt is posting up this colour like nobody’s business, I thought today I’d take a little look at it paired with black or greys as I’m particularly enamoured with this combo right now. 

I guess a couple of these pics trend a smidge too far towards forest green, but they’re still pretty blooming gorgeous.
