According to the Pantone Color Institute, the color of 2023 will be Viva Magenta – a sparkling deep pink (Viva Magenta 18-1750). This vibrant color expresses strength, joy, encourages experimentation, and self-expression without limits. The electric deep hue is stated in a definitive way, and the crimson red tone is a balance between warm and cool. What’s more, Viva Magenta is also a hybrid color, one that conveniently distinguishes between the physical and the virtual, suitable for our multidimensional world. It is a carmine red that doesn’t boldly dominate, but definitely makes a statement. Below, we will show you the best photo inspo for the color of the year, as well as some beautiful home designs.

#Digital Lavender

According to the color coding system, in partnership with the China Textile Information Center, the color of 2023 will be Digital Lavender. Also, according to researchers, purple will return as a key color in 2023, representing wellness and digital escape. A soft pastel, the color of the year for 2023 exudes calm, stability and, despite its name, a digital escape. Moreover, it is a sensory hue that connects with holistic well-being and digital optimism. This shade creates the much-needed cautious optimism and escape that people crave post-pandemic and even in times of budget crisis, it is imaginative and creative but also speaks of hope and balance. Digital Lavender is very similar to the color of 2022 – Very Peri.

It works best for spaces and ranges where it can speak to healing rituals and the impact on well-being. Choose bedding, children’s and guest rooms, bath sets, table linens, lighting, but also ceramics and colored glassware. These are all interesting ways to add this gentle color to your life.
