Emerald Green: With Pink and Gold

<div style="text-align: center;">We all know that Emerald Green is the 'it' colour for 2013, as named by Pantone. <br />I heard recently that the most common partner for this hue is blue, which totally makes sense. Sapphire and Emerald together create a regal and rich palette.<br /><br />My favourite pairing for Emerald, however, is pink and gold.<br />Here is a mood board to show you how well this combo works:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq7uubus8Dor85wHrqW6uLafqViVYc0ZdAnYidQAWOpXT_lt40IWHi9Y45XIReeTXxE0Z6MEbECIq5naolTRCVwfiOPwAW6cwflpmv85BI8pw2Ep8ASfA4hx2I8-YKeOCpEdzEhrXARY-F/s1600/emerald+green+and+pink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq7uubus8Dor85wHrqW6uLafqViVYc0ZdAnYidQAWOpXT_lt40IWHi9Y45XIReeTXxE0Z6MEbECIq5naolTRCVwfiOPwAW6cwflpmv85BI8pw2Ep8ASfA4hx2I8-YKeOCpEdzEhrXARY-F/s640/emerald+green+and+pink.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Because red is green's compliment on the colour wheel, and pink is a tint of red, this totally works!<br /><br />Erika used this colour scheme in creating her pinboard, and it looks great!:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFgJMTuZApf6kgxXJRGGeunWvNaGzGT08DuS0P08lAnMgLW34ACiOm-kAkUbp2zSPiHwc2t1i9c6YxzWW0ITMgcrb1nitIwI6sy_YEBlp3C_6hN5_W-dOnEPkZ97vGY2C42txMRFTuZVJO/s1600/small-shop-pinboard1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFgJMTuZApf6kgxXJRGGeunWvNaGzGT08DuS0P08lAnMgLW34ACiOm-kAkUbp2zSPiHwc2t1i9c6YxzWW0ITMgcrb1nitIwI6sy_YEBlp3C_6hN5_W-dOnEPkZ97vGY2C42txMRFTuZVJO/s1600/small-shop-pinboard1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smallshopstudio.com/2012/09/21/d-i-y-inspiration-pinboard/">via Small Shop Studio</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> I'm channeling it in my own place with the addition of my new Kelly Wearstler Trellis Pillow in Emerald Green!!:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8AlhiaLZ4419OTBoNVFDpX0aw20uo0YzKkWrXrq47dz1Fzd6fLs-TYklQBm3zc8ABRdfkqpWDOSa6W6EUGpySg14BS9Lp8KvXPiDyzT-6Ieq7RUVpVSm7buFgO7KGszZsYN8uqt-LEawt/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8AlhiaLZ4419OTBoNVFDpX0aw20uo0YzKkWrXrq47dz1Fzd6fLs-TYklQBm3zc8ABRdfkqpWDOSa6W6EUGpySg14BS9Lp8KvXPiDyzT-6Ieq7RUVpVSm7buFgO7KGszZsYN8uqt-LEawt/s640/017.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>What do you think of this unexpected combo?<br /><a href="http://s1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/?action=view&current=Tiffany-27.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/Tiffany-27.jpg" /></a></div>
