The Color Purple: Designers Envision Pantone's 2014 Picks

Pantone color: Cayenne #18-1651

Inspiration: The shades of blooming Spring flowers at Huntington Gardens — from the intense saturated shades of deep pink to the delicate hint of blush. We mixed the two types of shades — both cool and warm — as we would see them in nature.

Must-have item: Our vintage-inspired floral-printed cotton dobby pretty dress. The tea length and pleating and shirring details evoke pure classic femininity, while the fabric combination — the sheer illusion organza yoke — is on trend.

Signature color: Peach Amber
