Ready to combat the dark winter days with a hot pink that packs a punch? Step into the Magentaverse and check out PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta, the Pantone Color Institute’s Colour of the Year for 2023.
Recognised global leaders in colour expertise, the Institute provides colour insights and solutions, and they’ve been announcing the annual shade since 2000. Brave and fearless, Viva Magenta is a pulsating colour whose exuberance promotes optimism and joy. Powerful and empowering, it is an animated red that encourages experimentation and self-expression without restraint. Audacious, witty, and inclusive of all, PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta welcomes anyone and everyone with the same rebellious spirit.
“As virtual worlds become a more prominent part of our daily lives, we look to draw inspiration from nature and what is real,” commented Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “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, it reconnects us to original matter. Invoking the forces of nature, it galvanizes our spirit, helping us to build our inner strength.”
With the last few years being transformative in many ways, Viva Magenta is inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the most precious of the natural dye family. The strength and brightness of its nuanced crimson red tone presents a perfect balance between warm and cool. Here’s our pick of the pack.
