Color of 2014

Color of 2014

Yes, there really is an expert out there that selects a color of the year. That expert is not one individual but actually a group of people at the Pantone Color Institute and the color for 2014 is…drum roll, please…Radiant Orchid.

Each year the folks at Pantone comb the world looking for color influences in art, entertainment and fashion. Their color of the year influences all industries, including fashion, home design and even packaging. This year’s Emerald was selected as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity. Radiant Orchid is said to encourage expanded creativity and originality.

“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,” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute.

For use in the painting industry, I would use the color to liven up neutrals such as gray or taupe. Sherwin Williams was inspired by the color, went a step further and named 6263 Exclusive Plum as their color of the year.

Personally, I would venture to say that the experts at Pantone know what they’re talking about. They’ve been seen as the expert for the last decade and with a woman at the helm with a name like Eiseman, she’s got to be the expert!

Very professional, I appreciate the time they took to make sure everything was taken care of for my house! I really liked that Jaime stepped up and told me not to paint my front door like the house and then chose a color that worked great. Thank you!

Eric and his crew were on time every day and did a very thorough job. I was thrilled that they were willing to paint my outdoor light fixtures which were getting rusty. I was particularly impressed how much time they spent going over their work at the end to catch spots that were missed. I’ll be using them again for interior painting.

Consummate professionals! We hired Brooks to repaint the exterior of our house, and they did a fantastic job. The paint looks wonderful, everyone was also on time, friendly, and respectful of our property. Exceptional communication through the entire process. I was worried about damage to the landscaping near the house (bad previous experience with another outfit), but they were all very understanding and the crew was super careful. Did what they said they would do with no weirdness, no smoking, no radio, and they cleaned up after themselves nicely. This picky customer is very happy!

It was fun working with Chris and his crew. I’ve never had a contracted job go so smoothly from start to finish. The office was responsive to my needs, Corey was patient and helpful while I made color choices, and Chris made sure I was happy with the crew’s work every step of the way. Gabriel does amazing work as well. Very much a perfectionist like Chris. I don’t have a bad thing to say. The job is absolutely stunning and I’ve had so many neighbors tell me it’s beautiful. I’m happy to put one of your signs in my front yard if you’d like so people know as they drive by who did the work. Thank you Brooks Painting. I will be recommending you to anybody who asks.
