This will surely add as inspiration to all of us in decision making in terms of beauty, grooming, style, design and other stuff that we do everyday.

According to Leatrice Eiseman (executive director of the Pantone Color Institute) emerald is “The most abundant hue in nature, the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum. Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally-appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors.”
