Pantone Color of the Year 2023: Magenta
The Pantone Color of the Year 2023 is Magenta. Specifically, it's Viva Magenta 18-1750, a hue that the American company believes represents vigor and vitality. Let's uncover the secrets of this shade, which pairs well with interior doors and furnishings of all kinds.
Why is the Color of the Year Viva Magenta 18-1750?
Each year, the choice of the Pantone Color of the Year is accompanied by a brief comment that explains why the company selected that particular hue. Here are the words of Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute:
"In this era marked by technology, we seek to draw inspiration from nature and what is real. PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta descends from the red family and is inspired by the cochineal red, one of the most precious natural dyes, as well as one of the strongest and brightest ever seen.
Rooted in its primordial origins, PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta reconnects us to our roots. Invoking the force of nature, this hue galvanizes our spirits, helping us to build our inner strength."
The new color of the year, therefore, is characterized by its vigor derived from its closeness to the red family, known for strength and boldness. A "brave and fearless" color, as described by the American company, it pulsates with a joyful and optimistic way of living. In these turbulent times, it’s a much-needed signal of hope.
The Era of the Magentaverse
Alongside the color of the year, Pantone also highlighted which shades best complement this hue. These are the colors that make up the so-called “Magentaverse.” Here’s the full list:
- Pale Dogwood 13-1404
- Gray Sand 13-1010
- Gray Lilac 13-3804
- Pale Khaki 15-1216
- Fields of Rye 15-1115
- Agate Gray 15-6307
- Plain Air 13-4441
This approach is somewhat similar to last year's, when the color of the year was Very Peri 17-3938. That hue expressed a “lively and joyful attitude,” encouraging creativity.
How to Use the Pantone 2023 Color with Doors and Furnishings?
The Pantone 2023 color is notable for its ability to create an immediate visual impact. It's a bold, strong shade that also conveys deep emotions, thanks to its closeness to red. The most suitable application seems to be with modern-style sliding doors. Our lacquered sliding door with glass inserts, for example, can easily be customized in this regard. This interior door can also be further modified to match parameters related to panel dimensions, opening direction, finishes, and handle types. Each option alters the final cost, which can be tailored to individual needs.
