The verdict is in. Color authority Pantone has released Spring/Summer 2013's most wanted hues, and they're just as vibrant and juicy as any summer palette should be. Leading the pack, of course, is the color of the year: emerald. If there's better a time to unleash the green-eyed monster, it's now.

But while Emerald may be the color du jour, that doesn't mean the other shades aren't just as captivating. Personally, we're equally smitten with Dusk Blue, Grayed Jade, and Lemon Zest. So what are you waiting for? It's time to familiarize yourself with these colors, ladies—they're all you'll want to wear for the next few months.
