This week’s Trend Watch is a little different and I am super excited! As a total color and design nerd, this trend is right up my alley. Since 2000 the people at Pantone have selected a single color to represent the Color of the Year. It’s really interesting to read and hear how the color is selected; Super secret meetings in a European Capital city, two days of presentations and debate….It’s sounds pretty James Bond to me ;-)
In 2013 the Color of the Year was Emerald and 2014’s color of the year is….
“An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.” – 2014 Pantone Color of the Year Press Release
We must be right on point with trends because the designers and pollys have some amazing work showcasing this hue! First up from our talented designers:

Personal Note:
A lot of times Project Lifer’s are asked how they pick their physical album covers each year. Some are very organized and have a special colors for all family albums, personal albums, etc. Last year I decided to use the Pantone color of the year for my album and will do the same this year :) We R Memory Keepers have a wide range of Leather and Linen albums and wouldn’t ya know, there is an Orchid version available!
