Pantone Color of the Year 2023 – Viva Magenta

I am in love with this years Pantone choice, with its rich, warm, vibrant color. As I look out of my window at the swaying leafless trees and dreary skies, my eyes are drawn back to the Pantone website and my spirits are lifted.

Leatrice Eiseman says of the color…

“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.”
