2014 – Can’t believe it’s already two months into the year in which a Pantone purple reigns supreme. Unlikely, but incase you missed the memo, this year it’s Radiant Orchid – an energetic purple that’s a real head-turner.

In the words of Pantone themselves: “Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.” For those who want the tecky specs, you’ll find all your Radiant Orchid info here.

Surf around on the web and you’ll find tons of Radiant Orchid inspiration – here are some of our top pics:
