WTF Is Radiant Orchid and Why Do We Want It So Badly?

Pantone's 2014 Color of the Year has us coveting purple everything. Here, some of our top picks

It's that time of year again. The time when the color experts at Pantone flip through their thousands of color swatches to determine which luscious hue most deserves the distinguished title of, ehem, Color of the Year. At which point, the rest of us flock to department stores and makeup counters to snatch up clothing and beauty products in its various shades because, well, it's so pretty, and how have we never noticed this particular color before, and, more importantly, how have we lived without it for so long? So, without further ado, Pantone's 2014 color of the year is (drum roll, please) radiant orchid! And I'm pretty darn excited. As much as I love rich jewel-toned emerald, this springy color is a breath of fresh air. I'm already envisioning pulling off a bold orchid lip, hunting for creamy velvet heels and -- don't judge me -- I've already created a radiant orchid Pinterest board. So start shopping for your perfect orchid pick --we're not ones to judge.
