Petal Pusher

The Orchid family is home to more than 25,000 species, but only one is top of mind for tastemakers worldwide. Radiant Orchid, named Pantone Color of the Year for 2014, is about to implode on the fashion, home, makeup and children’s markets as a creative and magical complementary counterpart to last year’s renewing Emerald. It might be news to the common person, but not to runway watching moms who saw designers like Dior and Versace sprinkle the color into their Spring ’14 catwalks. Said to inspire confidence and emanate great joy, love and wealth, the versatile hue offers a fresh and exuberant alternative to the delicate pinks that typically rule the baby product world—sure to please moms looking for a sophisticated way to punch up their accoutrements.
