Radiant Orchid, that is. Pantone, the self described “global color authority,” recently revealed the captivating color as their pick for 2014 color of the year. Every year, Pantone scours the world to find the perfect color before making their selection, and this year’s color is a lively pick. With it’s rosy undertones, Radiant Orchid gives off a warm and healthy glow that translates well across a variety of mediums.

Already, various fashion designers, such as Juicy Couture and Yoana Baraschi, are using this shade of purple as they plan their spring collections, and there’s no doubt that the rest of the creative world will follow suit.
