Pantone’s Color of the Year, Viva Magenta 18-1750, is bold and exuberant, rooted in nature, but with many possible hues within its brazen spectrum. Descending from the red family, it signifies a new narrative and seeing the reality of things with a rebellious spirit and with a sense of inclusivity for all. And it’s surprisingly easy to incorporate into your wardrobe!
As An Accent
The easiest way to introduce a new color is to wear it as an accent. A tie or pocket square is the perfect colorful compliment to any ensemble.
