Pantone just announced a NEW Seasonal Schedule and a NEW Color for Spring 2014.
A.K.A. Radiant Orchid is OUT.
Not Cool, Pantone. Not. Cool.

While I like the idea of changing it quarterly to relate more to each season, personally, I like to see how designers can incorporate the same color throughout the entire year (by changing the decor around it or using lighter/darker shades of the color)... truly seeing how versatile the color can be! Also, I am obsessed with Radiant Orchid so that adds even more fuel to my fire. (Am I making any sense or am I just talking crazy and caring about unimportant subject matters???)
Here are some examples:
This first image seems very Spring-like to me with the light walls, light colored bedding, and light tones of "radiant orchid" used. Isn't this room beautiful? I love how the touches of blue mix with the purple in the artwork. (This picture actually inspired me to add some purple touches to my mostly light blue master bedroom - photos to come!)

This image seems more fall-like to me. I love how the rich wood tones, brass and berry-like hues add a deeper dimension to this room. I seriously LOVE what Kate did with this space (using beautiful World Market goodies!)

So I'm not sure if I made my point to any of you but, basically, I'm just not ready to see Radiant Orchid go! :)
I mean, look what they are replacing her with...

Here is an image of how it's incorporated in the home.

Anyway, just thought I would give you an update in case you hadn't heard the "big" news!
This better be an April Fool's Joke... oh, wait...! :)
