For those of you who don't know, Pantone is "the global color authority and provider of professional color standards for the design industries," and this year they have made Radiant Orchard the color of the year!

Radiant Orchid, as described by Pantone, gives "rosy undertones that are radiant on the skin and produces a healthy glow when worn by men and women." The color has been featured in many Spring 2014 shows including designers that are included in Pantone's 2014 Fashion Color Report.

Radiant Orchard has also been included in the beauty and interior categories that make up the design industry as well. I think it is such a lovely color for Spring and Summer. What do you think?

Let's take a look at some Radiant Orchid pieces below.
