THE NEW PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR: VIVA MAGENTA DESIGN INSPIRATIONS
Viva Magenta! Pantone has chosen a powerful and vibrant red shade as the Color of the Year 2023. This magenta color is a shade rooted in nature, it is bold and fearless and adds a joyful and optimistic tone to your interior.
WHAT DOES VIVA MAGENTA MEAN?
The story behind Viva Magenta is all about the balance between our digital and physical lives. In recent years, we have acquired a greater pull toward the natural world, and the Pantone Color of the Year 2023 is chosen to reflect our pull toward natural colors and the movement surrounding climate change, sustainability, and land protection.
Our love for nature is also reflected in our homes, not just with paint colors but also by adding plants, florals, and living walls to our interiors. And by paying more attention to our outdoor spaces.
Our current lifestyle trends are at the heart of the Color of the Year selection process. And Viva Magenta is the perfect rich shade for these times. The origins of Viva Magenta comes from the cochineal beetle. This insect produces carmine dye, one of the most precious, strongest, and brightest of the natural dye family.
This year’s color merges richness, warmth, and strength of the natural world with the rich, open horizons of the digital world. The result is a red shade that celebrates life, Viva Magenta is a bold shade that also adds a fun touch to your home.
HOW CAN I USE VIVA MAGENTA IN MY TABLE SETTING?
Viva Magenta is a bold color but it can be incorporated in your home in multiple ways. For a bold statement you can opt for a magenta feature dinnerware or table cloth. But it can also be added as a pop of color through florals, napkins, placeholders, or furnitures. Viva Magenta certainly adds a warm and dramatic tone to any room of the house.

If pink on pink are a bridge too far for you, why not match it with a more neutral linen that perfectly matches the vibrant color of magenta?
