Radiant Orchid: 2014 Pantone Color of the Year

Radiant Orchid: 2014 Pantone Color of the Year

It’s summertime here in North America and we are still going strong with the color of the year… Radiant Orchid. It was declared last December by the Pantone color experts themselves. Personally, these shades of orchid have been my personal favorites forever, so I’m not surprised to see their dynamic versatility. With the perfect balance between a warm pink and a cool purple, this color can play off just about any color in the wheel with elegance and grace. It’s thrilling to see how this color can spread a large range of color interpretations as well. Check out these images from Pantone’s Radiant Orchid Pinterest Board to see what I mean.

I love color. It’s a constant source of inspiration for me. Thanks to Pinterest and Facebook it’s easier to have color conversations and archive our favorites. Color choices are not only picked by trend, but also by personal tastes. Check out my Pinterest board to see what images and colors I’m drawn to. Here’s what’s happening this summer on my “Color to Cherish” Pinterest Board.
