Sherwin Williams color choice for 2013 is Aloe. Here’s why they picked it as explained by Jackie Jordan, Sherwin-William’s director of color marketing, “This is no ordinary pastel — Aloe is funky and glamorous, demure and free-spirited. While Aloe’s vibe can verge on retro, when paired with caviar blacks, crisp whites or soft grays, suddenly Aloe has a new soul and attitude. And Aloe is highly adaptable, making it a perfect pick for everyday spaces such as a breezy sunroom or a well-dressed living room.” (source ~ apartment therapy )

Pantone LLC’s Color of the year for 2013 is Emerald. The executive director of Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman said the following, “The entire green family has been so strong, upcoming through the ’90s as we’re paying attention to nature, so the family isn’t new, but what we needed to look at and revisit was the psychological background: Emerald is such a balanced color, and balance is something to pick up on and listen to. It’s a color of growth, renewal, healing, unity and regeneration — words we’re all so in need of at this point of history.” (source ~ Bella & image ~ Elegance & Simplicity )
