their color of the year: Marsala! "A naturally robust and earthy wine red, Marsala enriches our minds, bodies and souls." I'm not a big fan of the red-brown color by itself, but I'm loving it paired with rich turquoise/teal hues!

Do you approve of Pantone's choice?  <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21163" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTB-vqEhpaEWwHYJyxwoF9A0IAd-8jAbtclTUr5XzyB-kUXEQlkH-nGJjoE1kcLr4qeCa0d3iI7gJDrFpV-PsmQNnN_xE4mc0NPXc1sKV1xxitW4V-RoYJjQ1ddeSX1-8fBvVmkw7Hvdc/s1600/Pantone.jpg" /></a></div><br />Read my posts about past Colors of the Year:<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2013/12/2014-pantone-color-of-year-radiant.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2013/12/2014-pantone-color-of-year-radiant.html" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBN7t_zSWapLlvHkN_uyMXjBEzSFi5kUvoCGE_jfqpgZG-Jo5JPz52JWdUDDNrvJ4p-c1Kyga-ko-VeoCOy-I5PORvwA8xv8ivPGXlMs2tMLsTp-bNy259k5o1BUuNwoMzu2fpcPFwrLI/s1600/2014.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2012/12/2013-pantone-color-of-year-emerald.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2012/12/2013-pantone-color-of-year-emerald.html" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUxOyzGsT42tug1aYSEdc0-I7SiVRxf93Kv_Pmy3h6MkyOp_ewAnSTAX_2SLJndOtpCt3KZrdtzCLSMQ5_ykeAxGrHbPxY46IUs5ZPKA_D3vm81GtSIdCgXYNa3tSKn959KOzwmVkirpc/s1600/2013.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/12/2012-pantone-color-of-year-tangerine.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/12/2012-pantone-color-of-year-tangerine.html" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicUDwM0eX8mICadlcLHmceDQGr6GlXaT7dKO3z-eK7tLICmWQTOf03PLZzYvoTP-9qaDS-suZ_a1si0s36hiNPR4A3pIC0cOr9WZpDh9aq50_CyBOczWNq2YMiENHyFIiXQJmwqdxhdBs/s1600/2012.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2010/12/color-of-year.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2010/12/color-of-year.html" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsT2HGb6TgA9KjuLQ-v4tNsAJf2sB82H6g2jYJBLs9BNhN6ejgyCMzqwFGBXvehdUVSxqTRLRWpPOJFO_0gJSdGqeioDknlJMrX3j5a0PB8MXQKbLprFB7ZqGThQMaOYVmqEXLu3323YI/s1600/2011.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2009/12/pantone-color-of-year-for-2010.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2009/12/pantone-color-of-year-for-2010.html" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhWe29c9cEq-_-ueL5P0RIa_snMKpuOIkBwyeVk4ny3wQrFnaJObIUXiXt3dR59qI-iX5q68SQrbKPTKeP1jnvLR15BmKUBs4N9ReUPwaIAXeENVRoDRWDYbzm5jrMycWL-glW1AhrgS8/s1600/2010.jpg" /></a></center><br />Happy weekend everyone!! :)<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

Are you feeling blue?

Hopefully you are into blue!  Blue seems to be a dominant colour in Pantone's colour forceasting for  both spring 2013 and upcoming 2014.

I don't think it is a blue that you would  catagorize as trendy. Perhaps timeless would be a better descriptor.   Dazzling Blue seems to be a colour that will not be  around for the long haul.  It is cold, quite exciting ,and lends itself well to accessorizing.   It isn't exactly a colour you snooze to.  Could you have it on a wall?  Not me, but there are those who would.   <br /><br />You could use it a little or go whole hog and saturate your space with it.  <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Welcome to the world of dazzling blue....</b></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvbV6PZv9zU6OfSfcplb6kEQpdLNYkxL8C5kZukB_LxTfTrRCOr3NofS1D6k4CRAPrzDfQZT2wGYKwrE5vzo_8XKY9tCHXOcgluHFgj7o2A20Wyb0ADrSnVqjQ_Ehas8bJKZUjMENEgup_/s1600/4cc2179ab2f9435b3ac165578e0c6636.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvbV6PZv9zU6OfSfcplb6kEQpdLNYkxL8C5kZukB_LxTfTrRCOr3NofS1D6k4CRAPrzDfQZT2wGYKwrE5vzo_8XKY9tCHXOcgluHFgj7o2A20Wyb0ADrSnVqjQ_Ehas8bJKZUjMENEgup_/s640/4cc2179ab2f9435b3ac165578e0c6636.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/yvr1955/my-portuguese-azorean-roots/">source </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> .... put it on the outside</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BxsUhxfzsqiDxH1GUmn-6B92XtF9o8njafu_HOUxcahIZOBPU_RKPZMSAzre93EAhjXuJvSrmPElGnO0j-eWFLsfxzHZO2WWThKgQrcVfKfNQEx4qYtv69pg5798KfWGIIpVdvK937PQ/s1600/8d4618d82d26d8276aa2f19cdacafbe7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BxsUhxfzsqiDxH1GUmn-6B92XtF9o8njafu_HOUxcahIZOBPU_RKPZMSAzre93EAhjXuJvSrmPElGnO0j-eWFLsfxzHZO2WWThKgQrcVfKfNQEx4qYtv69pg5798KfWGIIpVdvK937PQ/s400/8d4618d82d26d8276aa2f19cdacafbe7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://brabbu.com/blog/2013/11/2014-fashion-color-trends-by-pantone/">source </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">on furniture or pillows...</div><br /> I really like it mixed with various grays and all that texture.  Both serve to tame it down a little.  You will notice quite a bit of colour variation in the blues above.

Emerald is their choice for 2013 and I'm very pleased...it looks fantastic with turquoise! According to Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, <span style="font-size: small;">green is the </span>most abundant hue in nature. The human eye actually sees more of it than any other color in the spectrum. I'm thinking green and blue has to be Mother Nature's favorite color combo!<span style="font-size: small;"> You can read all about <span style="font-size: small;">Emerald<span style="font-size: small;"> and why they chose it </span>over<span style="font-size: small;"> at <a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21055" target="_blank">Pantone</a><span style="font-size: small;">!<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21055" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-tbkPQDC/0/M/i-tbkPQDC-M.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Read my posts about previous Colors of the Year:<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/12/2012-pantone-color-of-year-tangerine.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-vJKdKHm/0/O/i-vJKdKHm.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2010/12/color-of-year.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-Ld3t3RC/0/O/i-Ld3t3RC.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2009/12/pantone-color-of-year-for-2010.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-pgbrSTZ/0/O/i-pgbrSTZ.jpg" /></a></center></div></center><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?
