Pantone is the global authority on colours and sets the colour trend each year, which in turn inspires designers, artists and trendsetters to work their magic in creating fashion and home décor.
This year the stunning ultra violet shade of purple makes its entry as the Pantone colour of the year. The shade has long been linked to feminist causes thanks to the sense of solidarity that the colour exudes. The cooler shade of purple evokes creativity and has a mystical and spiritual essence to it. Little wonder then that Ultra Violet is often associated with spiritualism and mindful practises.
Even without the mysticism attached to it, this beautiful shade offers unexpected colour pairings. Being easy to intermix with different hues, it adds an extra layer of magic, turning your home and office into stylish spaces.

THE PULSE OF ROMANCE
Ultra Violet can exude an incredibly romantic feel when teamed with the right accessories. Create a dreamy space and achieve the perfect balance between energy, calmness and romance by painting your walls in a warm lavender shade or by decorating the room with knick-knacks that compliment your walls. While on one hand purple is a majestic colour that screams sophistication, on the other it adds a certain mysterious charm. Create an atmosphere of romance and relaxation by adding cushions, comforters, and other linen in lavender hues.
While the colour gives you a number of chic ways to incorporate the shade in your home, there are certain do’s and don’ts that you should keep in mind.
- Do use Ultra Violet as an accent colour
- Do go for a majestic look and mix it with metallic shades

Ultra Violet can make a statement in any space, whether traditional, elegant or bold. Be creative and adventurous as 2018 is the year to break free from the stereotype and unleash your inner desire.
