Carlstat, NJ, December 2013 - Pantone, in collaboration with X-Rite, has announced Pantone 18-3224 Radiant Orchid (or Radiant Orchid), a captivating, magical, mysterious pink-violet tone, as the 2014 Color of the Year.

“If Emerald (Pantone 17-5641), the 2013 Color of the Year, was a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, then Radiant Orchid is designed to intrigue and excite the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “By inviting innovation, the Radiant Orchid encourages the development of creativity and creativity, which are increasingly valued in modern society.

Radiant Orchid - charming lilac, pink-lilac, fuchsia shades - is conducive to trust and radiates soft joy, love and health. This wonderful shade is full of charm."

Orchid color in clothes

The shades of Radiant Orchid are on the verge of pink and purple. The highlights of these tones on the skin give it a healthy shine. The color itself is universal: it can be worn by both women and men. The attractive Orchid immediately conquered the catwalks during the spring-summer fashion shows 2014, and from there this color easily migrated to the red carpet for film and pop stars.

Such fashion pillars as Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan, Juicy Couture and Yoana Baraschi began to introduce shades of Radiant Orchid into their spring 2014 collections. Various versions of this fashionable shade of 2014 are included in both women's and men's collections of clothing and accessories.

What kind of flower is an orchid and what does its name mean?

The orchid is one of the most diverse tropical plants. There are more than 25,000 varieties of it in the world. Species diversity is explained by the different conditions in which the flower grows. It can be found on all continents except Antarctica.

Such a worldwide distribution makes it difficult to unambiguously describe the history of the orchid’s origin. It was first described in Ancient China, and the name was given in Ancient Greece. "Orchis" are the tubers of the flower that are visible above the ground and have a regular egg shape. The ancient Greek term translates as “testicles” and symbolizes fertility and sexuality. Large and large roots personified a male child, thin and graceful - a female child. During Antiquity, the inflorescence was perceived as one of the most erotic images.

Orchid color in cosmetics

A modern and amazingly versatile shade, Radiant Orchid gives your skin a more vibrant tone and makes you feel healthy and attractive. Orchid shades are on the border between cold and warm tones; they do not spoil warm skin color and highlight cold color types. In addition, many brown and black shades of hair in combination with Orchid will become brighter and more attractive. It is worth noting that it is an advantageous combination with different eye shades. This is primarily tea and all shades of brown, gray, gray-blue, swamp green and blue-green chameleon eyes. The multifaceted color of Orchid is seductive in combination with crimson shades, as well as various shades of lavender, lilac, lilac tones, which provides a rich palette of lipsticks, eye shadows and blushes. The abundance of the Radiant Orchid is also evident in the wide range of nail polishes and “glitter touches” to them.

Useful tips

In order for the purchased orchids to delight you with their blooms, you need to know and follow a few simple tips. For example, you need to purchase such rare flowers at special exhibitions or in stores. You should not buy an orchid with blue flowers without experience in growing phalaenopsis, as it will soon get sick and may even die.

Always remember that a painted plant requires more careful and thorough care. Therefore, it is recommended to think about whether it is worth buying a blue orchid. No need to paint it blue yourself. If you follow all these recommendations, then an indoor orchid garden will delight any amateur gardener with its varied blooms.

Orchid color in the interior

Novelty in the interior is a movement forward. And if innovation is the trendy color of the year, then it is not only a surge of energy, but also the best way to adapt to the modern world. Radiant Orchid creates fresh, contrasting and very attractive combinations with olives and deep forest shades of green, and combines perfectly with turquoise, emerald and even light yellow tones. In addition, Orchid shades will enliven neutral colors such as beige, gray, dark gray. The energetic and bold colors of 2014 can bring together many of the colors and design elements of your home space without being oppressive.

This is how the color Radiant Orchid was presented by the PANTONE Institute as the color of 2014.

Orchid color for color types

As usual, the colors designed to be the leader of the year are universal. But it is worth noting that Radiant Orchid walks the line of what is available for almost every color type. This feature is explained by the fact that the complex, soft shade of fuchsia is not bright enough for “winter” and not dim enough for “summer”. It is not clean enough for “spring” and not warm enough for “autumn”. But all this is compensated by the abundance of Orchid shades: from pale lilac to dark purple. Let's see which shades suit which color types.

Painting

Plants are painted by watering or injection. They buy paint at a flower shop and mix it into the water when watering. The plant absorbs the pigment and changes the color of the petals to another. This method harms the roots and leaves of the orchid.

Conclusion

There are 30 thousand species and varieties of orchids. Shades and colors have many options. This helps gardeners diversify their own garden. Growing and caring for orchids is no different.

Pink tones

Orchid color combination in the wardrobe

Orchid creates truly magical combinations, both everyday and evening and festive. Intriguing, but not provocative shades can be introduced as an addition to a business suit in combination with neutral tones. Orchid, unlike many pink shades, inspires a minimum of tenderness and femininity. Basically, the fashionable tones of 2014 are intelligence, objectivity, creativity and effectiveness. But still, this color can also fit into a romantic style. But Radiant Orchid has no place in casual style; its shades go beyond everyday life.

When revising your wardrobe to pair with the color of 2014, or creating a new look around the color Orchid, consider the following combinations:

You can emphasize the depth of the color of 2014 and add expressiveness to it by combining it with pink shades such as soft pink, pink-lilac, pink, raspberry, lingonberry.

Red shades combined with Orchid create a bright and exotic look. Consider shades of red such as light red, dark red, carmine, cardinal, and wine to combine with this color.

Recently, the combination of pink and orange shades has become particularly popular. Perhaps this is due to a craving for oriental exoticism. Either way, consider color combinations like Orchid and Light Orange, Pink Orange, Last Gasp Jaco, Burnt Orange, Red Orange.

The combination of Orchids and yellow shades, as in the case of orange, evokes hot countries, tropical forests and sunny days. Consider the following combinations: fashionable color of the year and pale yellow, yellow-orange, gold, saffron, cream.

Radiant Orchid combined with warm shades of green is in its natural environment. This is another reminder of the tropical origins of the color of the year. You will look natural and at the same time elegant by combining this color with the following shades: lime color, kiwi, protective color, pine, brown-green color.

Cool shades of green create a stunning summer contrast of sea and flowers. Consider this color in a couple of the following tones: neon green, turquoise green, mint, emerald, patina.

Complex blue and blue shades are also a natural setting for the color of the year. The contrast of warmer and cooler looks no less charming, as in the example with cool shades of green. Combine Orchid and sky blue, soft blue, gray blue, cornflower blue and Prussian blue.

Combination with related purple shades, as well as with pink ones, deepens the color and makes it expressive. Combine Orchid with light purple, glycine, lilac, red-violet and grape flowers.

Brown shades are wonderful companions of Orchids, especially since almost everyone has these neutral shades in their wardrobe. Such combinations as the color of the year and wheat, red-brown, sepia, coffee, dark chocolate will help you get out of boring everyday life.

Finally, neutral shades when combined with Orchid lose their dullness and take on a surprisingly intriguing new life. Consider combinations such as color of the year and light grey, light beige, dark beige, asphalt and wet asphalt.

  Class! Great color! Great post! I’ve loved these shades all my life, but what should I do with the piles of emerald clothes from last year? Here's the question!

  What beautiful colors! I just want to bathe in these colors, surround myself in both clothes and home. I think these colors suit everyone. What lipstick should I choose so as not to blend in with my clothes? The “Fashionable Verdict” said: that lipstick matched to the tone of clothing reveals a woman’s age (already...)

  Well done! the selection is great! We worked in detail! For girls, this is just a stylistic guide.

Staining methods

Patented coloring

The method of the Dutch nursery is patented. They explain:

• A certain environment is created (temperature, dyes) with natural elements;
• White phalaenopsis are used. They are placed in this environment. The creators claim that it is safe for orchids;
• Flowers are not only colored blue;
• The price for them is respectable. 2-3 times higher than others.

How it was bred by the Americans is unknown to us. Japanese copies are not yet offered. Or maybe we don’t know yet. And our businessmen sell them.

White phalaenopsis are used for coloring.

Injections into the peduncle

• Not everyone can afford to purchase patented blue orchids. ;
• And if they ask for exactly this, then it can be created on the spot. And on the Internet they will tell you what and how to paint;
• One of these methods is injection into the peduncle. In its lower part. It is not so dangerous for the entire plant. If it fades, other flower stalks will have lighter flowers.

By the way! Many people take this calmly. I remember one phrase: “We do this all the time in our garden store. So I have a good experience. People thank you for your advice and tips.”

Injections into the root

You can also see the results of injections into the root of the plant. This is definitely a one-time gift. But who would like such blueness? And it is already more difficult to save such a plant.

What are the dangers of painting yourself?

The introduction of various dyes greatly weakens the plants. After all, there are also advisers who advise adding dyes when watering. And they recommend special paints for flowers or food coloring. And they can help you purchase them.

I don’t really understand such flower growers. For what? Money - I'll believe it. But not the love of flowers.

Ordinary ink is also used as dyes. And there are also solvents.

The buds may wilt and fall off.

Attention! Eventually the plants may die. And even rescue efforts may not yield a positive result.
