With distinguished flair, Radiant Orchid eclipses pale plum and purple passion as 2014's Pantone Color of the Year. Alongside a palette representative of blooming flowers, Pantone emphasizes pastels to evoke feelings of sensual revival and vintage romance. Think Hemlock, Freesia, Paloma, Celosia Orange and Anthropologie-esque style pairings. Designers follow suit with Spring 2014 collections that capture the essence of freedom and confidence with flowing gowns, luxe shifts and sharp shapes.

Have a look at the last 14 years of Pantone colors--do you see a common thread? This year's pick surprises, as the last decade and a half (almost) of chosen colors hover curiously close to a base of primary colors. What is your pick this season?
