The Pantone Color of the Year is: RADIANT ORCHID! Pantone, the global authority on color, explained their selection as follows:

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.

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.

While I'm not such a purple-lover, there's enough of my favorite color—pink—infused that I can get behind this choice. Besides, the more Radiant Orchid mood boards I discover online, the more it's growing on me.

What do you think about Radiant Orchid? Will you incorporate the color into your lifestyle this year?
