What’s the inspiration behind the 2023 color of the year? Trend forecasters have stated that many are searching for support, connection, inspiration, and self-reflection in the new year. Outwardly looking at nature’s warm, earth-toned colors are the biggest features of the new year. Pantone’s color of the year is called Viva Magenta, a crimson red tone that balances warm and cool. Pantone describes it as “…powerful and empowering…a new animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, and a boundaryless shade…” If this is the vibe you want to bring into your space this year, consider incorporating viva magenta into your space to fulfill your overarching vision. If this shade doesn’t quite fit your design aesthetic, here are some similar shades that top-rated paint brands have shared to please every minimalist and maximalist!
