The announcement of Pantone’s color of the year always comes with fanfare. Released just before the year begins, the color echoes through fashion and product design and makes its way into our homes.
In 2022, it was Very Peri. Following this up, the official Pantone Color of the Year 2023 is titled Viva Magenta, and it’s all about natural vigor. The hue is inspired by cochineal, a high-chroma, natural red dye that was famously used to give the beverage Campari its red hue up until the mid 2000s.
Pantone calls Viva Magenta “a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative.” Meant to inspire hope and vivacity while invoking the Earth, Viva Magenta adds a pop of color to any home.
