The new 2014 Pantone Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid 18-3224 is sure to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination.
Radiant Orchid is a captivating, magical, enigmatic purple that has a harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.
The color is, not surprisingly, selected from their Spring 2014 colors from NY’s Fashion Week earlier this year. For the fashion conscious, the color pairing radiates and produces a healthy and energetic glow to the wearer.
Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health. It is spiritual, mythical, non-conforming, creative, original and tantalizing.
It is also a vibrant color used to liven up neutrals like gray, beige and taupe.
