Emerald City: A Few Looks in Pantone’s Color of the Year

When thinking of what to post this week, I was torn between creating an illustration to celebrate Pantone’s color of the year for 2013 and an illustration in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. Then I realized…. with Pantone’s color being emerald, I don’t even have to choose!

I don’t have much in the way of green in my wardrobe — and I don’t know why since the color’s so festive – so I really ought to change that. And with it being “the color of the year” I’m sure there’ll be no shortage of emerald pieces to choose from in stores. In the meantime, here’s a few watercolor doodles of some fun emerald pieces I found on Modcloth. Anyone else finding any inspiration in Pantone’s pick?

And happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who celebrate it!

    Emerald green is one of my favorite colors. It is so rich and beautiful. I have been eyeing that swimsuit from ModCloth for some time now. It’s flawless. Your sketches are way too cute. I wish I could draw clothes so well.

    May the force be with you.

    Your illustrations are lovely 🙂 thank you for your wonderful comment. I love the t-shirt with the fox on, I have one just like it that I’ve not worn yet and I think you’ve just inspired me to dig it out once this snow is gone 🙂 xx

    I just love green. These are wonderful sketches — love the wolf/fox shirt and skirt. I love how you capture the folds and curves of the cloth.

    Hello Sabrina,

    Your illustrations are beautiful! Love the emerald green one piece swimsuit. All inspired by Modcloth? I may just go and buy that swimsuit for my holiday in May!

    I, like you, posted on Pantone and Paddy yesterday! I’m so happy that emerald green is the colour of this year – finally, a colour that works with my pale skin!

    Let me know what you think of my picks 🙂
