Pantone 2023: Viva Magenta!

Breaking news! Pantone released the 2023 color of the year - Viva Magenta! Magenta has always been my favorite color (just ask my wedding party) but this shade brings a vibrancy that comes from the strong red overtone and orange undertone that saturate the color, making it a juicy version of the standard Magenta - think fruit punch. There are so many ways to add this to a design, whether its through accent pieces or an accent wall if you’re feeling bold and want an infusion of energy to the room! This color adds strength that is also fun and playful, so it can work in any room ranging from a living room to a playroom.

I personally love this color because it can add renewed vibe to a room or piece of furniture. The color adds a lot of movement, especially when introducing textures like silk or velvet . Check out this Overstock.com chair (also on Wayfair but for $100 more) or accent pillow, to boost a more muted space. And if you dare, check out this amazing wallpaper from Hovia or Litfad to add color to an accent wall.

According to Pantone, the color is:

“An unconventional shade for an unconventional time”
