Inspiration for using Radiant Orchid in your Home
Radiant Orchid pairs so well with a number of colors. It can enliven a neutral on its own, or mix with other colors beautifully. On the warmer side, it pairs beautifully with oranges and it's sister-tone pink. On the cooler side, it looks beautiful with blues and teals or even a deep green. I've actually used a touch of this color in my home office recently. Using this beautiful fabric on a valance.

This Library has taken the very bold route with Orchid lacquered bookcases. Wow!
Although a fashion example, Radiant Orchid pairs beautifully with a pale green.
For even more color combinations, look no further than the color experts at Pantone.
