Each year, Pantone Color Institute releases a shade to engage designers and colour fanatics in a dialogue around hues. At the start of December, Pantone released the colour of the year 2023: “Viva Magenta”. A tint that is symbolic of life and a celebration of power. The colour is being described by Pantone as “An unconventional shade for an unconventional time” and rightfully so.
