My top picks for Viva Magenta

Pantone have announced that their pick for COTY 2023 is Viva Magenta! This is a shade deeply rooted in nature, descending from the red family and expressing a new signal of strength. This vivid colour is described as being both powerful and empowering as a new animated hue that revels in pure unapologetic joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint. I absolutely adore Viva Magenta, and to help you get inspired I’ve gathered a selection of ten pieces to help you embrace this electrifying statement colour in the New Year.
