Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year: Viva Magenta

Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year is bright, fun, and completely unexpected – and we couldn’t be happier! Viva Magenta 18-1750 is a shade that is rooted in nature and descends from the red family. It’s a color that is expressive of a new signal of strength, is brave and fearless, and promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration.

“PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta is inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the most precious dyes belonging to the natural dye family as well as one of the strongest and brightest the world has known.

Rooted in the primordial, Viva Magenta reconnects us to the original matter, invoking the forces of nature, galvanizing our spirits, and helping us to build our inner strength.”

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute
