Emerald, the color of prosperity, has been named the color of 2013 by color authority Pantone, and we found it everywhere we looked in Sarasota, from the new Sephora store inside J.C. Penney to furniture and gift shops to fashion and jewelry boutiques. It’s an equal opportunity color available in high and low prices—promoting balance, harmony and a sense of well-being.
