Musing about: colour of the year

Pantone has announced its 'colour of the year' for 2014 - Radiant Orchid:

Lots of yarn out in this colour:

Berroco Vintage in Lilacs

Berroco Vintage in Aster

Malabrigo Worsted in Orchid

Cascade 220 in Deep Lavender

My plan is to knit Sophie Pullover in the new year in an orchid colourway (or one close to it).  I think the ballet neckline, cables, and 'prettiness' of the pullover will suit a flowery colour.  I think I'll use Berroco Vintage Chunky in Aster.
