Drum roll please! Pantone has just recently announced it’s newest color of the year for 2014….
Radiant Orchid:
Bye-bye Emerald Green, Radiant Orchid is the new ‘in’ color!
This beautiful color is the exact color of a gorgeous blooming Phalaenopsis orchid!
I personally love this color! I find it has beautiful richness and depth.
I believe it’s going to work well in fashion, makeup and in home interiors.
‘Radiant Orchid’ can pair with many other colors including neutral colors: sand beige, taupe, grey, black and white.
It will also look wonderful next to soft yellows and paired with turquoise or teal. Metallics in both soft silver and gold will look stunning with this hue!
Here are some inspirational photos of using this orchid color in a home:

Use as an accent wall or paint the back of a bookcase:

Will you be adding this color to your home? Like? Dislike?
I’d like to add it to my home with pillows and accent decor…I think in January it’ll be a gorgeous cheery color to add to my home during the long grey winter months!
Share your thoughts – I’d love to hear your opinion!

Well…I deleted that comment because it didn’t publish half of what I said! (iPhone issues—operator error.) I am not a fan of the orchid, probably because it doesn’t look good on me. I prefer “radiant pig”—like in Charlotte’s Web. (The other comment left out the whole Charlotte’s Web reference. Which is what made it silly. Which is how we roll.)
