"If you&amp;#039;re in the know when it comes to color, you&amp;#039;ve probably already heard that the color of 2013, as decreed by Pantone, is Emerald. I spent the first part of this week at the International Home and Housewares Show (the trade show for the kitchen and cleaning industries, when we see all the big releases for the year) and I wondered if I&amp;#039;d see a lot of green on the show floor. I did \u2014 but I also saw a lot of red, orange, yellow, blue, and purple too. While there was no consensus when it came to the hot color for 2013, it was interesting to see what certain companies were focusing on, particularly ones that frequently set trends in color.  Le Creuset always unveils a big color at the show and this year it was a sunny Soleil yellow. Coming out of the recession, the company is looking to lighten things up, a rep said, and sunny yellow brings a touch of cheer to the tabletop.  Fiesta fans are big on mixing and matching their colorful dinnerware, and they&amp;#039;ll be able to add the understated Lapis blue settings to their repertoire when it comes out in June. Why blue? Blue is always popular, according to Fiesta.  Staub is known for its &amp;quot;Pumpkin&amp;quot; Dutch oven among other things so it&amp;#039;s fitting that its newest line comes in Burnt Orange this year. Beyond looking sophisticated (and very fall-friendly), new color processing allowed Staub to add more lifelike detailing and shading to its pumpkins.  And perhaps the most unusual color statement of all? Paula Deen&amp;#039;s new Signature Collection speckled cookware in lavender. Purples are growing in prominence in general, but lavender has been trending in the UK for a couple years now and is finally making its way across the pond. Other new colors in the set include pear, and honey, the latter of which features a complementary brown non-stick interior.
