Naming Colors: My interview in The Boston Globe



Radiant Orchid.

That's the name of Pantone's color of the year. It's a beautiful name befitting the color. I spoke about naming colors with journalist Matthew Gilbert of the Boston Globe in this interview. Read the story behind the name, Radiant Orchid, the naughty etymology of the word orchid, and the reason why ambiguous color names pop.

Enjoy!
