"In this age of technology, we look to draw inspiration from nature and what is real. PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta descends from the red family, and 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, PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta reconnects us to original matter. Invoking the forces of nature, PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta galvanizes our spirit, helping us to build our inner strength."

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute

PPG and Glidden’s 2023 Colour of the Year is Vining Ivy.

“The green part of [Vining Ivy] says that greens are still part of the story, but it has a jewel-like element added to it with the blue that makes it a bit enchanting,” says Ashley McCollum, Glidden’s colour expert. “We’re really talking about how this colour is both green and blue because, realistically, that’s how our customers are talking about colour.” Please click on image to the web page to see the Architectural Digests article.
