This year, it’s time to go green–Emerald Green! Each year, Pantone<\/a>, the authority on color and provider of color systems for the design industry, selects a color to influence design trends. The Color of the Year for 2013 is a deep, verdant, emerald green. SmartSign<\/a> pays tribute to the color of the year with green signs from its expansive selection.<\/p>\n

Green represents rejuvenation and renewal. The color of the year strongly symbolizes nature and growth, reflected in campground<\/a> and recycling signs. After all, what better way of urging people to go green than with green eco-friendly messages? Remind people to pitch in or not to fish in unwanted areas.<\/p>\n

According to the OSHA\/ANSI standardized color system, green is the color of safety and first aid. Signs with green backgrounds indicate gas masks, first aid kits, stretchers, safety deluge showers<\/a>, safety bulletin boards, and emergency exit routes.<\/p>\n

Lastly, emerald green was chosen because it represents a call for luxury after a few tumultuous economic years. Emerald, as a jewel tone, is in step with fashion’s fall trend. Choose attractive signage that reflects the luxe life, like\u00a0signs for the\u00a0golf course<\/a>.<\/p>\n
