Ultra Violet is Pantone’s 2018 Colour of the Year, and to give you an idea of it we’d say it’s basically a blue-based purple which appears to suggest that the year ahead of us is going to be one of great discoveries and enlightenment. And given the how disappointing 2017 was, with its accompanying colour green of the year, which can safely be called the worst shade of green ever, this purple works fine for this year.

Pantone describes its new color as, “a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future.” Can we get a hell yes?! Pantone continues, saying the colour recalls “influential icons such as Prince, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix, who brought shades of UltraViolet to the forefront of western pop culture as personal expressions of individuality.” Now that’s one star-studded description we can surely get behind.
