After Very Peri in 2022, it is now Viva Magenta that will set the mood for 2023.
Also known as PANTONE 18-750, Viva Magenta is described as “a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength.”
Other words the company uses to characterize the color — and, by extension, the current cultural moment — include powerful, empowering, electrifying, boundaryless, audacious, and inclusive.
“Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, and a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative,” it says.

Some skeptics would point out that magenta doesn’t technically exist, since there’s no wavelength of light that corresponds to that color. But Pantone — which literally wrote the book on color-matching in the 1960s — defines it as a “nuanced crimson red tone that presents a balance between warm and cool.”
Magenta is a hybrid in many senses, the color authority says, as it straddles the physical and the virtual, the organic and the innovative.
“It is assertive, but not aggressive, a carmine red that does not boldly dominate but instead takes a ‘fist in a velvet glove’ approach,” it says. “Exuding dynamism, PANTONE 18-1750 Viva Magenta is a transformative red tone capable of driving design to create a more positive future.”
