We’ve narrowed our choices for March’s Color of the Month, but we want you to help us pick the winner. Here are the options:
Aqua
Our editorial assistant, Karli, says: My pick is aqua. Will from Bright.Bazaar is loving it. Kate Spade uses it quite often in her china and accessories lines, and it looks fantastic mixed with other brights like red. You can go bold and saturated or tone it down by distressing it for a lighter shade. This color is EVERYWHERE right now and perfect for ushering in springtime and Easter without going pastel.
Emerald Green
Nina, our shopping expert from HGTV MarketPlace, voted for emerald green, along with decorating editors Chelsey and Camille, who pointed out its presence at the Golden Globes and called it “a fun spring color.”
Lemon Yellow
Says Lili, our senior decorating editor, “I’m pushing for bright yellow again, angel-punching be d*@$ed! It’s so perfect for spring.” Our Shaw Floors color consultant, Emily, agrees with Lili: “It was everywhere at IMM Cologne a few weeks ago and I keep seeing it in fashion as well as interiors.”
The poll’s open till 5pm EST, Monday, Feb. 28. We’ll announce the winner on Tuesday, Mar. 1.
Voting for emerald green because March is the beginning of spring and that gorgeous green reminds me of of dew-enveloped grass and lush shamrocks. But I do love the yellow and just painted my office that color, with accents of black and white.
I love all those colors but I am going with aqua, I don't know why but lately all the blue's are hitting a high note with me.
Aqua is REALLY popular with our clients right now. They dont want your passive, soft, (dare I say) pastel blue/green either. They want the full on, full bodied Aqua color.
People are getting really comfortable with color and not afraid to choose bold patterns and accents now. I attribute it to the media explosion of design and fashion on TV and magazines, and DEFINITELY our exposure to our various ethnicities, traditions, and cultures.
Love to hear this!
Would aqua go with gold color chair?
Love Aqua, it is actually going to be one of my wedding colors this summer:)
Pops of lemon yellow make you happy. It is as hopeful as the daffodils that herald spring is here!
agree. I vote yellow
I'm tired of pastels for spring (even an appealing one like aqua), and while I love most greens, that particular shade makes me want to punch a leprechaun, so it's daffodil yellow for me!
So much violence. Punching leprechauns, BPF punching angels…
The aqua and green are nice but I agree with Cynthia. The yellow just makes you happy.
Aqua for sure! zingy, energising, and I loved it as pantone colour of the year last year 2010- It's onlynow coming into its own I reckon.
I'm all for bright yellow – such a great color and it works well in several different rooms in a home.
I'm voting for aqua because it is my March birth-day-stone(aquamarine).
[...] question is, what other color of jeans are essential? Like what other colors should every guy [...]
Going with the yellow. Thinking spring and daffodils. Happy color in small doses.
[...] of the month: aqua, emerald green and lemon yellow. To add to the fun, we asked you to help us pick the color. So…which did you [...]
yellow!
Aqua for me
Yellow's ALWAYS been my fave!
I love Aqua, it reminds me of the ocean, in the tropics, I am thinking about using it in my family room. I think its a nice cheerful color..
aqua did my room in this color, came out beautiful. Reminds me of the Caribbean
Ditto Steff I painted my room aqua and I feel like I'm in Bimini. So I call Aqua "Bimini Water"
BUT
Yellow would look great perhaps in entry way, I like the twist they put on it.
I think it's not just color it's where to put that color…….
Love the oranges mixed with other bright colors…….
That green wall is so BOLD I do hate that green it makes me feel like turning around and walk right out of that room before I get swallowed…….. BUT the other room with a touch of grren and alot of white looks soothing and amazing.
Aqua for me!
ilove the the lemon it represents nature
COLD LEMON YELLOW!
the colour of the after-winter Sun
Aqua … Teal Yes!!! Yellow and green .. yuk!
i am voting for emrald green because it looks bright and implicates spring.
I really like how the yellow looks, very warm and inviting.

Aqua is my favorite. We just moved into our new built house that I designed, the walls in the open living-dining room – kitchen are painted aqua. Cathedral ceiling with black wrought iron hanging lights, white spanish tile floor, black furniture, cherry cupboards with white silestone counters, aqua/ teal/turquoise accessories and stainless steel appliances. Large natural woodstained windows on two sides look out to Lake Ontario, of which the house sits about 50 feet from the edge.
The Small Home Kitchen Remodeling Idea is very beautiful I love the blue color it makes the kitchen look very new. Keep up the great work.
Aqua!
