My first post of 2013! It always feels a little strange the first several times that I type or write the number of a new year. I guess it isn't uncommon to slip up the number for the first few days (or weeks?).
It has been widely publicized that Pantone chose emerald green as the color of 2013, but I am naming magenta as a secondary color to carry us through the winter months. Following the highly successful fall "it" color of burgundy, magenta seems to be the natural progression into the spring months to lighten and brighten up the reddish purple of fall with a touch of pink.

What colors to pair with the pink/purple of magenta? Of course black is a natural and elegant choice. Gray and navy are other neutrals that look amazing with this color. Maybe a brighter, unexpected color? Try a complimentary shade in the pink/purple/red family, or cobalt blue, or a zebra print.
