Go for a jolt of joy!
Some colours are difficult to appreciate and even harder to work into a wardrobe or decor. How can you use this shade?
Viva Magenta has a touch of the rebel. This red is easily incorporated into your decor with accessories, cushions, vases, or posters. Paint an accent wall in this vibrant red to add a jolt of joy to your space!
Are you an artist at heart? Include Viva Magenta in your paintings, embroidery or drawings, and set up your work where you can admire it each day.
If you would rather wear the 2023 colour of the year, nail polish is a subtle way to do it. If subtlety isn’t your cup of tea, opt for lipstick.
Refine your look with a wardrobe item in the colour of the year.
No matter how you use it, Viva Magenta can imbue a feeling a power and vitality, injecting some adventure into your everyday life.
New Year, new influence
Every year the Pantone Color Institute names a key colour.
In 2020, it was Classic Blue, a shade evoking calm, confidence, and connection—perfect in the context of a global pandemic.
Pantone selected two colours for 2021: Ultimate Grey and Illuminating, a combination of strength and hope.
Last year it was Very Peri, a blue-violet to encourage creativity.
