Another year, another colour to live by. Or so says global colour authority Pantone, who officially deemed Radiant Orchid as 2014′s Colour of the Year, citing the light purple’s shade’s transformative nature (it also happens to be one of my brand's colours).
“The purple family has continued to grow in popularity and acceptance among interior designers and consumers alike,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Colour Institute. The hue will replace last year’s shade, Emerald Green.
“As we move into 2014, we are beginning to embrace bold paint colours in the home for accent walls or to revamp key furniture pieces. Radiant Orchid is a surprisingly versatile, modern hue that evokes a sense of creativity and movement that will elevate any room to a new dimension,” said Eiseman.
