Just Announced! Ultra Violet-Pantone Color of the Year 2018

Purple rain, purple rain! Color has the distinct ability to not only invoke emotion, but be used as a vehicle for self-expression. Therefore, what does Ultra Violet convey? Pantone answers,

“Lighting the way for the year ahead, Pantone announces Pantone 18-3838 Ultra Violet as the Color of the Year 2018! A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade. Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking that points us to the future.”

Very nice sentiments. Nevertheless, brands are already lining up to showcase their Ultra Violet infused products. Two companies to definitely keep in mind are Butter London and of course, Fenty Beauty. Regarding the COY (color of the year), Fenty Beauty states, “Pantone 2018 color of the year is Ultra Violet! Rihanna is always leading the charge. [Check out our] MatchStix in Unicorn.”

Rihanna’s purple makeup in a stick which retails for $25 has been out on the market for weeks now and selling by the minute. Proving that Rih is in touch with not only her fans but looking to the future to set the standard of what’s “hot.”

No ladies, your eyes did not fail you as you perused the title of this post. History has been made when it comes to next year’s selection of shades to envy and place on trend. As any beauty maven or fashionista knows normally one shade is chosen but next year two shall reign supreme.

Therefore, what are the two tints that we need to go out and grab? Pantone has selected Serenity which is a pretty, ethereal light blue as well as Rose Quartz which is a delicate light pink. We foresee both colors being a major hit during spring when fresh color is often much appreciated and considered en vogue.

Here is a closer look at the two shades courtesy of Pantone:

The color of palette of the two tints are extremely complimentary of each other. Nevertheless, here is why the pair of colors were chosen out of the entire spectrum:

Although not outrageously bold both colors can still take a style up a few notches. These colors work for day or night and can be versatile for dressing up or down. With such ease ensembles for 2016 will be a cinch.
