The new Pantone Color of the Year is Viva Magenta, which I am delighted about! I’ve been painting with this influence for years because of it’s vibrancy and warmth. Pantone says the color is “expressive of a new signal of strength” and that they drew “inspiration from nature and what is real” to develop this shade, originating from the red family.
I am on board with all of that. When we think sometimes of the natural world, we imagine greens and browns, but nature involves so many different things like birds, butterflies, and flowers.
