DECORATING WITH PANTONE'S COLOR FOR 2018: ULTRA VIOLET

{ Via: Domino }

The Pantone Color Of The Year, Ultra Violet, was a surprise to many, including myself. After all, decorating with such a saturated purple takes a little courage. It's dramatically provocative and certainly makes a statement. Wonderful on an accent wall, chic when colorblocked, and terrific on a table with dinnerware and accents. As in every year, the depth of the color can vary and that makes it even more interesting. This edit features some of the best ultra violet finds for every stylish space.

Serenity Now: Rose Quartz & Serenity -The Colors Of The Year

Via Coco & Confetti

For the first time ever, Pantone has chosen two shades as the "colors" of the year. They are pretty, especially when blurred together. Black is always my color of choice, so wearing or decorating in a pretty pastel is not in my comfort zone.  If you are like myself, let's think about pairing rose and blue with a darker shade. Here is what Pantone has to say about their color choice for 2016.
