“Since 2000, the Pantone Color Institute™ has been designating a Color of the Year to express in color what is taking place in the global zeitgeist. A color that will resonate around the world, the PANTONE Color of the Year is a reflection of what people are looking for, what they feel they need that color can help to answer. Not necessarily the hot fashion color of the moment, but a color crossing all areas of design which is an expression of a mood, an attitude, on the part of the consumers.” Or at least this is what Pantone thinks. Personally I find that the Colour of the Year does in fact seep deep into fashion and that includes yarn colours as well. For 2014 the Colour of the Year is Radiant Orchid.
