Pantone's Colour of the Year is Emerald
We ran a post in January about Pantone's colour of the year being Emerald - see it here. Well we're now the first UK stockist of Seletti's infamous Pantone tins commemorating this beautiful colour. The perfect hide away for the utility bills and storage for old polaroids and holiday niknaks. Stack them high and proud! Get the emerald tin here.

Pantone's colour of 2013
Pantone have given their annual trend forecast for the colour that will dominate our year as....drum roll please.....Emerald 17-5641. This beautiful fresh colour brings to mind luscious plants, sparkling jewellery and energetic interiors.
Describing the colour of the year Pantone's Colour Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman says that it is "The most abundant hue in nature, the human eye sees more green than any other colour in the spectrum... Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally-appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors."
No other colour has such a rejuvenating power as green hues do so we can't wait to get our wardrobes and homes dazzling in Emerald tones.

Tangerine Tango
So the word is out from Pantone that the colour for 2012 is Tangerine Tango (or 17-1463 for the purists out there). Whilst we're still undecided to go all-out in head-to-toe orange we're all for a bright pop of colour and scouring our shelves we think we can definitely bring some glowing warmth along with effortless design. Teaming just a few items together will freshen up any space or even a new accessory can brighten an old outfit.
"Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy." Leatrice Elseman, Executive Director, Pantone Colour Institute.
