Just as strong as Radiant Orchid is, the colors of years past have not been a disappointment.  Each color has made such a statement throughout the design field.  For me last years hue of Emerald was also a bit of a surprise as well, yet shades of green ended up dominating the design world.

So what do you think…  Is this color for you?  Could you see introducing this hue throughout your home or into your wardrobe?  Would you have rather seen a different color chosen for 2014?  If so, what would it be?
