Pantone Color of the Year 2023: Magenta




A new favourite colour every year. The Color Institute followed last year's cool purple with a vibrant shade of red. It only remains for us to say: "Viva Magenta"!


According to the Pantone Color Institute, "Viva Magenta" is an extraordinary colour for an extraordinary time. The shade of red, which alternates between cold and warm, is intended to inspire the design world to look to the future with optimism. The dynamic crimson is intended to become the stimulus for pure joy, experimentation and fearlessness in the new year. So much for meaning. The trend colour was inspired by nature, more precisely by the female lice of the cochineal scale insect. A bright red pigment (carmine) is obtained from them.
