Pantone's Color of the Year for 2014!

Here we are again, color lovers. Another December, another Color of the Year announcement from the gurus at Pantone. For the first time in a few years, I feel like things are moving in a more unexpected, bold direction. If this 2014 pick is an indication of our colorful future, then I say, let's go, bring it on!

According to Pantone, this color is "an enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones" that "inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health".

I believe its going to work well for interiors. It is a color that coordinates beautifully with pale yellow, and, the neutral of the moment, gray, as well as with pale, warm taupes, creamy whites and soft metallics, both silver and gold.

But, the designers and consumers ultimatly decide the success of these color predictions, so I'd love to know what you think of Radiant Orchid - do you see it in your home design Magic 8 ball for the coming year or is it a "try again later"?
