It’s official. Radiant Orchid is Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2014. If you look at the color wheel, the hue is a sharp contrast to last year’s Emerald. According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director for the Pantone Color Institute, this years selection is an “invitation to innovation. The purple family offers opportunity to do creative things.” Apparently that’s what we all want right now.
One group who’s sure to be looking to this color for inspiration in 2014 is brides. By the time the first crocus sprouts up in Spring, brides will be blushing for invitations in this shade. And why wouldn’t they? With a bevy of options to choose from, no need to limit the invitation elements to shades of white – from cover weight to announcement envelopes, there’s a hue of Radiant Orchid to make creatives swoon. Here’s a list of our paper pics in the PMS 18-3224 range:
