Magnificently modern, it exudes a fresh versatility that’s much sought after. With a mystical complexity it contains various undertones which allow it to combine harmoniously with a multitude of other colour variations. Ideal for use in interior design, it can be successfully blended with both warm and cool shades, from reds to yellows to greens. A strong solid colour, its bold beauty will also add a spark to simple, plain or neutral interiors. With a cool confidence and elegant intensity, it’s ideal for revitalising its surroundings without overwhelming them.

What’s more, Colour of the Year is not restricted to one field or genre. Whilst popular in furniture design, Radiant Orchid also featured heavily on the catwalks earlier in the year, filtering across the clothing lines of some of the biggest names in fashion. Furthermore, its attractive adaptability means it’s not just limited to any one season, but will flourish all year round.
