Residential Painting and the 2014 Color of the Year – Radiant Orchid
Pantone is the global authority and provider of professional color standards for the design industry. They continue to study how color influences human thought processes, emotions, and physical reactions. In addition, their choices often influence the color trends in paint, fashion, and beauty.
That’s why it’s so exciting when Pantone releases its color of the year. To select the color of the year, Pantone examines emerging trends from around the world. Their choice can be shaped by developments in disparate fields such as the entertainment industry, films that are in production, traveling art collections, hot new artists, popular travel destinations, technology, upcoming sports events that capture worldwide attention, and other socio-economic conditions.
Pantone’s choice for 2014 color of the year is Radiant Orchid. As it has in years prior, Pantone’s color of the year will influence what hue(s) we put on our walls throughout the year and help pave the way for decorators around the world.
According to Pantone’s website, “Radiant Orchid complements olive and deeper hunter greens, and offers a gorgeous combination when paired with turquoise, teal and even light yellows. Likewise, the vibrant color is sure to liven up neutrals including gray, beige and taupe. Uplifting and bold without being overpowering, Radiant Orchid reenergizes almost any color palette and provides a unifying element for diverse spaces.”
In describing the choice, Pantone states the following: “An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society. 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.”
We are very excited to see where the color trends will travel based on this exciting choice for color of the year.
