Pantone announced the color of the year for 2014...it's Radiant Orchid!!!! OMG!! The color for 2013 is Emerald, which is a beautiful color, but I was so ready to see purple as the IT color.

 People have been wearing a lot of purple this year...

remember my post about the Obamas {HERE} & my post right after the New Year about purple {HERE}. Either way I'll take it...2014 is going to be a SUPER stylish year!

Read a couple excerpts from Pantone's Press Release:

“While the 2013 color of the year, PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “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.”
