8 Awesome Pinterest Examples of Radiant Orchid

There’s nothing demure about Pantone Color’s 2014’s “Color of the Year.” The muted blues, greys and silvers of years past have now been replaced by the appropriately-named “Radiant Orchid.”

This aggressively named and hued purple, often with jewel-red undertones, is already making appearances in celebrity spring fashion and the runway, receiving rave reviews along the way.

Now, it goes without saying that this vibrant color isn’t for everyone...BUT, if you’re interested in exploring how stylish Pinterest users are getting on board with this year’s color, we’ve put together eight images we think capture the essence of Radiant Orchid quite nicely.
