The Pantone Color of the year for 2014 is Radiant Orchid!

This gorgeous and delightfully alluring fusion of  brilliant purple and fuchsia undertones is absolutely stunning.  I have to say, I Love this color! It’s energetic, joyful and inspires my artistic/creative  juices to start flowing.

“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.”

“An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society.”

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.

The alluring Swarovski effect of Crystal Lilac Shadow compliments the Radiant Orchid color beautifully. The rich purple tones and hints of pink mixed with a crystal sparkle is a n exquisite tone in-of-it-self and blends very nicely with other Swarovski colors such as Crystal Antique Pink, Light Amethyst, Light Amethyst Satin, and Violet Satin. The Violet is a lighter more delicate shade of Radiant Orchid and bothe the Lilac and Amethyst are deeper hues of this charming color. The unique coating of Crystal Vitrail Light is another Swarovski effect that is a soft yet stunning lighter lavender tone with hints of crystal sparkle.

Have fun creating new and innovative designs inspired by this lovely and delightful 2014 Pantone  color of the year!
