Emerald green Pantone. It never ceases to amaze me just how small and yet how big the world really is. As I write this many of you are already welcoming 2013, the New Year? Well that’s old news. In fact I am sitting here in my pj’s watching Australia and New Zealand’s fireworks on the news. In a few hours most of the world will already have had its celebrations while everyone on the east coast of Canada and the USA will just be getting ready to start our celebrations. We are among the last people on earth to enter the new year. I found this chart that shows when everyone around the world celebrates. At 9pm pacific time I’ll be celebrating with my family in Toronto and then just after midnight I’ll be calling my family in Poland as they are waking up from their evenings of revelry.
The second part of this post was inspired by the many blogs that I have recently read which debating emerald green,Pantone’s colour for 2013. Now I’m sure that I’ll jump on the bandwagon and follow designer’s collections and yes I’ll probably buy some sparkly green eyeshadow but then it hit me, why not choose my own colour?! Personally I love the idea of a new colour for a new year. I happen to like emerald green, it’s so rich and regal but it’s not necessarily my favourite colour, I have no idea which colour I’ll pick as there are so many amazing ones still available……
So this year I’ve decided instead of resolutions (as some of you might remember I did those on my birthday, here) I’m going to pick a colour and make it proud!
I was so happy to discover this site, Own a Colour, it’s not a new site and I’m sure that many of you are familiar with it but how fantastic is it that you can just own your very own colour. In the end it won’t matter if you like emerald or not. As a bonus it’s sponsored by UNICEF and goes to help feed children, which in my books is always a great cause.
For 2013 what colour will you choose and better yet what will you name it? Can’t wait for your answers.
Here’s to a wonderful New Year, a new journey to embark on, new discoveries to be made and a life to be fully lived!
Do you love the Emerald green Pantone colour ?

I agree: the world is a small place even though it’s so massive! I saw on the news this am too that folks overseas already welcomed 2013. I can’t wait to see what the new year has in store for us all. This year definitely flew by fast!
My color of choice is always green. I don’t know what I’d call it though 🙂 it’s hard to come up w/a name…sweet, maybe?
Happy New Year to you! xxGlor

Happy new year!!! the best for you!!
love, Gongy
Own my own color?! Sounds so awesome! Mine would probably most definitely be a purple hue since that’s my favorite!
Happy new years!
giveaway!
Love purple! I’m still deciding but I thought it was a great idea!
I love this! What a great idea picking your own colour of the year! I’m intrigued about which colour you chose in the end? I think mine would be a calm pastel pink or blue because it’s about time I calmed down myself! The past few years seem to have been neon colours in my life, so I’d welcome a pastel change ha! Happy New Year and I hope you had a great time celebrating!
I love this idea! It’s so creative! I’m probably also thinking of some shade of purple but my favorite color is green and I love blue on everything! haha! There are so many to choose from! I’m thinking Mustang Purple, I saw this amazing ’67 Shelby with this amazing color purple that I love! It was such a great color!
Love it!!!! That is an awesome name. I love blue and red and pink is pretty great and maybe a turquoise….. I’m having a hard time with my challenge.
It was very difficult!! I base most of my color choices, even in my make up, off hot rods. I’m a car girl, I can’t help it! lol I just love the bright colors and the colors they mix together! I loved your challenge, it got my creative juices flowing! 😀
Happy New Year! Hmm.. maybe this year I will go with color green and my all time favorite white and pink 🙂
Hugs! from miss jHENZ http://jeniferbalatico.blogspot.com/
