The radiant orchid is not my favorite for permanent surfaces – tile, large expanses of wood paneling as I think the color is too trendy. BUT, I do love the radiant color pop with pillows, rugs or even the fun kitchen chairs. These can easily be changed out once the color gets old! Lovely images. Thanks for sharing!

I love how vivid it is!! It plays well with darks & lights – it’s perfect!!! So love this color of the year! Happy Happy Color.
Not a fan of radiant orchid. See it and think Barney purple.
Purple is my favorite color but I don’t know that I could talk my husband into all these accents…
Well, Shirley would certainly embrace this color!
Love the colors! Thanks for sharing!
I think it is lovely for a pop of color, but I also think it is trendy. I wouldn’t spend too much time and money embracing it.
I’ve wondered how in the world I could incorporate purple into anything in my home. This pantone selection threw me off! But I love all of these ideas. Thanks Jen!
Wow, I’m in LOVE with that patio from Homes. I could live out there all day long!
While the color probably isn’t something I’d use personally, it’s lovely and obvious other people know how to rock it in their spaces!
