Dig Out Your Purples!

Pantone has announced their Color of the Year for 2014! This year was all about the emerald and 2012 was tangerine. This year they're going in a different direction and keeping with a great hue that works in every season: Radiant Orchid.

Besides being a fab color for the whole year, you probably have a few items already in this shade, like nail polish or eye shadow, so it's easier to mix into your look right away. This shade of purple is always a flattering one and can be found in clothing from seasons past, so it's possible you even have a top or pants that you'll want to bring to the front of your closet.

Radiant Orchid isn't just for the ladies either. You can bring it into men's looks and even your home. Imagine a purple and white chevron stripe throw pillow set for your couch! Leatrice Eisman from Pantone says "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.” That sounds like a perfect way to head into to a new year!

How are you going to incorporate this new color trend this year?
