Earlier this week, we were talking party trends for 2018 and one of them was anything Ultra Violet! PANTONE is the global authority on color, inspiring designers and stylists around the world. They have declared the dramatic and enigmatic blue-based purple Ultra Violet as Color Of The Year 2018. You will be seeing it everywhere from home decor to nail polish if you haven’t already!
“Complex and contemplative, Ultra Violet suggests the mysteries of the cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond where we are now. The vast and limitless night sky is symbolic of what is possible and continues to inspire the desire to pursue a world beyond our own.” Doesn’t this sound perfect for the beginning of the new year?
Let’s talk about a few ways you can incorporate this color in your home and when entertaining!
