"Radiant Orchid" 2014 Color of the Year |
Happy New Year! For those of you who follow such things, you probably know by now that Pantone has named the "Color of the Year" for 2014--and it is---drum roll---"Radiant Orchid".
Since 2000, the Pantone Color Institute has been designating a "Color of the Year" in order to "express in color what is taking place in the global zeitgeist." Hmmmm. Or perhaps the real purpose is to launch a new "must have" color to promote commerce.

I must confess that I am neither a trend setter nor a trend follower. Nonetheless, I do hope that the painting shown above, which is one of my personal favorites, will find a home this year, since it happens to feature the Color of the Year. You can learn more about it here.
