'Pantone has named 18-3224 Radiant Orchid – ‘a captivating, magical, enigmatic purple’ as its colour for 2014.
Each
year the company selects a colour which it says will sum up the 12
months ahead. Pantone says it ‘combs the world’ for influences, looking
at films, artworks, technology and sport events.
‘An invitation to
innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and
originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society,’ says
Pantone Colour Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman.
She adds, ‘While the 2013 colour of the year,
Pantone 17-5641 Emerald,
served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Radiant Orchid
reaches across the colour wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the
imagination.’
Pantone says Radiant Orchid has potential for use in
beauty and interiors, and is already being used by fashion designers
for their 2014 collections.
Eiseman
says, ‘An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones,
Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and
health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its
beguiling charm.’
