Pantone Color of the Year
It’s “color of the year” time again, and Pantone selects a dark, vibrant red/magenta tone for 2023
“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.”
