Every year the Pantone Color Institute announces their pick for color of the year, the hue meant to inspire interior designers, fashion designers, brands, product developers and other creatives. After the color is released, it’s usually immediately seen on fashion runways and home hallways. You might have seen a lot of yellow-green last year to match the 2017 color of the year—Greenery. In 2018, get ready to witness an abundant amount of vibrant purple hues—Ultra Violet is the color of 2018.
About the color of the year according to the Pantone website:
“The Pantone Color of the Year has come to mean so much more than ‘what’s trending’ in the world of design; it’s truly a reflection of what’s needed in our world today.”- Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.
“We are living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination. It is this kind of creative inspiration that is indigenous to PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple that takes our awareness and potential to a higher level. From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive Ultra Violet lights the way to what is yet to come.” – Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
