green with envy

So I'm a little late with this post but earlier this month Pantone announced their 2013 colour of the year. This year, the title went to Emerald green. Here's what Pantone had to say about Emrald:

Most often associated with brilliant, precious gemstones, 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. Also the color of growth, renewal and prosperity, no other color conveys regeneration more than green. For centuries, many countries have chosen green to represent healing and unity.
