The Pantone® "colour of the year" has been decided, and next year is all about PANTONE 18-3838, better known as Ultra Violet. This is a warm purple shade that expresses mystery and intrigue. It is a colour of the night sky and a limitless colour expressing hope, originality, and inspiration for the future; it is also a colour used for spirituality and wealth. Last year's "colour of the year" was Greenery, which was a spring green colour that evoked a since of rebirth and hope.
Expect to see these colours used in the world of fashion, interior design, and other design over the next year, although I did not seen last year's colour used much in fashion. I believe that this year's colour is a more fashionable colour. Some past 'colours of the year' are listed below.
2017: Greenery
2016: Serenity & Rose Quartz
2015: Marsala
2014: Radiant Orchid
2013: Emerald
2012: Tangerine Tango
2011: Honeysuckle
