Artistic Sign Design – Radiant Orchid Is The 2014 Pantone Colour Of The Year

Passionate For Purple

When Pantone announced the 2014 Colour Of The Year would be Radiant Orchid, it was described as an enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones. This a very fresh and young colour which often see in Florals, Easter Jelly Beans, and suprisingly enough Celebrity Hairstyles.

Out With The Old

Last year Emerald made a impact as the 2013 Colour Of The Year with it’s bold jewel tones and striking vibrancy.  With a much paler tone being added to the Pantone’s yearly collection, it will interesting to see if designers will take an understated artistic approach to including Radiant Orchid into their upcoming design projects.

Artistic Sign Design

Our expert sign makers have already found a way to incorporate shades of purple into their artistic sign designs.  They chose to lighten up a 3 dimensional Christmas display this year with a lavender colour that looks very close to Radiant Orchid.

 Adding pops of colour can give signs and designs an extra punch that can aid with visibilty and make it memorable.  Adding too much of a good thing can have the opposite effect.  You want to avoid your artistic designs from becoming eye-sores. Remember that less is more when it comes to logos and signs.  Think of the message you want to convey and how colours and fonts can give you the results you are looking for. All of these choices are a representation of your brand.
