Visualize the possibilities. Vocalize your innermost desires. Brave a new venture. Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year, Viva Magenta 18-1750, originates from one of the most vivid, natural carmine dyes from the cochineal beetle. This vehement pigment redirects our focus with vivacious splendor and reconnects us with nature. Add a little pizazz to your outdoor palette with this hybrid of hot pink and red. Let’s boldly embrace a new year with optimism as we aim to achieve a balance between the digital and physical worlds. Dive into decadent color or just add a dash with these decorative plants and posh decor possibilities.

Pantone’s Color Institute Director, Leatrice Eiseman aims to spur our spirits with the 2023 Color of the Year. We love how Viva Magenta “acknowledges our gravitational pull towards natural colors as movements swell around climate change, sustainability, and land protection.” With numerous ways to utilize its striking sentiment, this energizing color possesses plentiful opportunities to pepper your outdoors.

Boost Your Borders with Vivid Blooms

One clever way to incorporate Viva Magenta is to create colorful borders using Paint the Town Magenta Dianthus. These low-growing flowers bloom early each spring to create a splash of panache and they’re the ideal addition to your pollinator garden.
