The Pantone Color Institute has been selecting a Pantone Color of the Year since 2000. Pantone began this practice to bring together the design community and create discussion about color and its effect. Pantone has joined color and design across the board for years, selecting a new shade each year based on what trends they\u2019ve observed in fashion, home d\u00e9cor, technology and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reveal of Pantone\u2019s Color of the Year has become a much anticipated event, with the revered color experts sharing the origins of the color, what it stands for, how it reflects current culture and ways to incorporate it in daily life. Selected as Pantone Color of the Year 2023 is the shade viva magenta<\/strong>, a bold and powerful pinkish red shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why was Viva Magenta chosen as Pantone\u2019s Color of the Year for 2023? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viva Magenta Defined<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Viva magenta comes from the red family. It\u2019s described as a shade that exudes strength, bravery and fearlessness. It\u2019s joyous and optimistic, powerful and empowering and encourages self-expression, pulsating with red and pink hues that are rich and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Reflection of Current Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Described as \u201ca crimson red tone that presents balance between warm and cool,\u201d the color of the year is also a reflection of current culture. Pantone offers viva magenta as a \u201chybrid shade that symbolizes our presence in the physical and digital world.\u201d The new color of the year is rooted in nature and reflects the movements toward sustainable living and the health of the planet. A more intense appreciation of nature has many people bringing more plants and living things indoors. They\u2019re engaging in travel, outdoor play and other activities that offer more time spent outside. With all these things suppressed for an extended period during the pandemic, now is the time to break out of patterns of isolation and hiding, and viva magenta is the color to take us there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
