And the winner is….Emerald Green Pantone LLC the global authority on color and professional color standards for the design industry announced the color of the year for 2013 - Emerald Green.   This luxurious sophisticated color that’s often associated with both nature and royal gemstone also translates easily into so many ideas in packaging.  From an emerald gift bag to elegant satin ribbon, packaging with the color of the year is elegant and sophisticated.

Classically Gold and Traditionally Mint

With gold being at an all time high demand, why not mix the richness of gold with the innocent shade mint.  In packaging it can be as simple as a wonderful metallic gold box, tied with a sheer mint ribbon.  This combination is the one to watch for in 2013. 

 

Contemplating Contemporary  

 Powerful slate grey mixed with sultry or shimmery silver, makes for a modern contemporary look that is chic!  In packaging it’s as simple as choosing a silver grey gift bag or box, and adding slate grey ribbon or tissue. Such clean lines and simple sophistication, there is no need to contemplate contemporary.
