Valentine’s Day (a.k.a Single Awareness Day) is just around the corner, and a lot of you are probably asking yourself, “How can I make this Valentine’s Day better than last year’s?” And no, the answer is not to cure your single status! The answer is “Radiant Orchid!”
“An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple, and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health,” says Pantone, a leading business in color communication, “It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”
Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to experiment with the pinky-purple color, which was named the color of 2014 by Pantone. Here are four ways to wear radiant orchid:
