Pantone’s Color of the Year

Viva Magenta is the latest Color of the Year from the esteemed Pantone Color Institute. You’ll see this fresh shade everywhere in the coming months and years. What does the Institute have to say about this rich red? Per their Executive Director, Leatrice Eiseman:

“In this age of technology, we look to draw inspiration from nature and what is real. PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta descends from the red family, and is inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the most precious dyes belonging to the natural dye family as well as one of the strongest and brightest the world has known.

Rooted in the primordial, PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta reconnects us to original matter. Invoking the forces of nature, PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta galvanizes our spirit, helping us to build our inner strength.``

The color reminds us of red wine, the unfurling petals of tea roses, and a feeling of opulence.
