Pantone Color of the Year 2014 has been revealed. Radiant Orchid delivers a stunning up close and Pantone look at the beauty of color.
Radiant orchid is no shrinking violet in the grand color scheme of primary or accent things. I’m most excited to see color, radiant color, take its rightful place on the stage shared and paired with neutral palettes and the decorative darling duo, black and white. A hint, a splash or a pop of color often completes the look of the space, and bravo to that!

Blended shades of orchid complement the crackle finish of the Ty Orchid table lamp by Arteriors Home available from Lamps Plus. Orchid is always in perfect company, complement and contrast to pale gray.
Inspired by the vintage perfume bottles seen in the windows of antique shops in France, Orchid Fragrance by artist Michelle Bennett is a great option for a splash of trend with of pop of 2014 color.

The announcement of radiant orchid as the Pantone Color of the Year 2014 at the holidays offers new traditional Christmas decorating ideas for the holiday season. I already have the fabric in mind for a custom tree skirt in radiant orchid pattern and texture. Talk about laissez les bons temps rouler festive timing! Radiant orchid kicks off the season as the king of carnival color.
Will radiant orchid find a place in your favorite and festive spaces?
It really is a beautiful color, Darleen! And you’re right, paired with gold and green, it can be stunning for Mardi Gras. I also love it with silver and mercury glass. Great post!
