FALL COLORS FOR 2014...

The calendar is only halfway through July but I feel it is my duty to prepare you for the upcoming season's colors to look forward to for fashion and design.   

For more than 20 years The Pantone Institute, the global authority on color, has surveyed the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond to forecast the season's most important color trends. This report previews the most prominent hues for fall 2014. 


First up is the leader of the pack and the Color of the Year for 2014: Radiant Orchid #18-3224 - a captivating and adaptable shade that enchants the complete spectrum...

Royal Blue #19-3955 - an evocative and dignified hue that provides more complexity and excitement than the average navy while still remaining versatile...

Aluminum #16-1107 - a futuristic stainless steel shade that serves as a complex neutral...

Aurora Red #18-1550 - a sophisticated shade with verve and spark...

Misted Yellow #14-0837 - a ray of sunlight and warmth that alludes to the promise of spring to come...

Sangria #19-2047 - an exotic red that evokes a sense of glamorous adventure and faraway destinations...

Mauve Mist #15-3207 - a romantic and elegant purple shade...

Cognac #18-1421 - a classy and cultured brown that takes a typical autumnal color to a sumptuous realm...

Bright Cobalt #19-4037 - a twist on the traditional cobalt blue with a slightly green undertone...

Cypress #18-0322 - a powerful and majestic green...

Look for these colors and combinations to create color palettes that will dominate the scene in fashion and interior design. Happy trend spotting...


Peace and Blessings,

PANTONE COLOR FOR 2014: RADIANT ORCHID...

Every year, the Pantone Color Institute releases its Spring Color Report for the following year in early September. This years' crop of hues are an exciting spin on modern and traditional colors for 2014:


However the Institute doesn't reveal its "STAR" hue until December. With much anticipation and surprise, Pantone has announced the Color for 2014...RADIANT ORCHID.

"An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid #18-3224 inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm," according to the Pantone press release on the 2014 selection.

Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel from the 2013 color Emerald to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination. Designers are sure to fascinate and incite our fashion senses with this striking hue:

As in the past, the world of interior design follows the fashion "Gods" with an influx of Radiant Orchid whether it takes center stage or as a dominating accent. This purple hue, one of my favorites, is sure to provide a fresh perspective on the world of interior design and not just for little girls' rooms:










Happy trend spotting...

Peace and Blessings,
