PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2023: VIVA MAGENTA!

 

 

 

Since 1856, the color magenta has captured the imagination of all. Originally called “Fuchsine” due to it’s substantial resemblance to the Fuchsia plant, this complex color was given its current name to commemorate a battle between France and Austria, fought near the Italian town of Magenta. To this day, Magenta has a strong place in our everyday lives. As one of the primary colors for printing and paint colors, this red-violet hue, along with cyan and yellow, helps to create all other colors we adore!
