Traditionally, on the eve of the New Year, Pantone announced the color of the upcoming year: in 2018 it will be a bright purple (Ultra Violet). The company describes it as "a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple hue that reflects originality, ingenuity and foresight."
Pantone is a recognized authority on color, his institute conducts research, after which it presents a palette of the most relevant shades for the coming year, as well as the main color. In 2016 it was lilac and pale pink, in 2017 it was natural green.
18 bright purple will be seen in clothing, interior design and makeup. Here are seven products to help you create your Ultra Violet look.
