Radiant Orchid: innovation, creativity and originality

When it comes to web design, color is an important detail that can make or break your whole design.

Since 2000, the Pantone Color Institute™ has been designating a Color of the Year. The PANTONE Color of the Year is a reflection of what people are looking for.

The color for 2014? The magical Radiant Orchid that symbolize innovation, creativity and originality.

“While the 2013 color of the year, PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.

"An invitation to innovation, modern and versatile Radiant Orchid encourages creativity and originality. Imbued with a harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and its rosy undertones emanate great joy, love and health."

Just Do Something!

Sometimes, you don't reach your goals no matter how hard you try, but having goals, whether big or small, is important. It gives you a sense of meaning and purpose, points you in the direction you want to go and gets you interested.

You don’t need to do everything right now. But you can do something.
