This year you will see him everywhere...

Like every year, Pantone chooses a color that will be a trend throughout the season. And the company has already announced the color that will take over 2014: Radiant Orchid, a purple that they say is "expressive and exotic" and "blooms confidently and warmly."

"While the 2013 Color of the Year, Pantone Emerald, was a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, the colorful radiant orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and ignite the imagination," said Leatrice Iseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
"As an invitation to innovation, Orquídea Radiante encourages the expansion of creativity and originality that is increasingly valued in today's society," he says. "The color of the radiant orchid consists of a magical harmony of fuchsia colors and shades of purple and pink, which inspire confidence and cause great joy, love and health. It's a captivating purple color that draws you in with its seductive charm," Eiseman concludes.

Radiant Orchid for fashion

Radiant Orchid pink shades radiate on the skin, creating a healthy glow when worn by both men and women. A dazzling eye-catcher, Radiant Orchid will conquer the catwalks during the Spring 2014 fashion shows and is already making its way onto the red carpet. Designers featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Spring 2014, including Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan, Juicy Couture and Yoana Baraschi, are incorporating Radiant Orchid into their spring collections, with variations of the shade appearing in menswear and womenswear and accessories next 2014 .

Radiant Orchid for beauty

Modern and surprisingly versatile, Radiant Orchid revitalizes the skin, making all wearers feel healthier and more energized. Combining cool and warm undertones, purple is an attractive shade for statement combinations and suits many hair, eye and skin tones.
This multi-faceted shade is seductive when paired with red and pairs well with its sister shades of lavender, purple and pink, providing a wide range of lipstick and blush options. The radiance of the radiant orchid also acts as a brilliant finishing touch to the nails.

Radiant Orchid for the interior

Spruce up your interior by adding this eye-catching hue to your paint, accents and accessories. Radiant Orchid is as adaptable as it is beautiful, complementing olive and rich hunter green and offering a wonderful combination when paired with turquoise, blue and even light yellow.
In addition, a bright color is sure to liven up neutral colors, including gray, beige and dark brown. Inspiring and bold without being overpowering, Radiant Orchid enlivens almost any color palette and is a unifying element for a variety of spaces.
