What color is Orchid?
Orchid is a soft, warm pink with a visible violet undertone, hex #ED80E9, similar in tone to the petals of a pale cattleya orchid. The color is bright enough to stand out but light enough to avoid looking bold or saturated.
What is the meaning of the color Orchid?
Greek physicians named the orchid plant after its root shape, and by the late 19th century the flower’s distinctive pinkish-purple hue had entered English as a color term, first recorded around 1915. The exotic status of orchid blooms, imported at great expense from Central America and Southeast Asia during the Victorian era, gave the color an association with luxury and refinement. Pantone selected Orchid as its Color of the Year for 2014, describing it as a color balanced between warmth and coolness, which brought the name into broad use in fashion and interiors.
