TRY THIS AT HOME
Pantone’s advice for using Viva Magenta in your house: “Daring designers can harness the full power of the Color of the Year as a velvet couch or lacquered wall. Those who desire a more neutral home can use it as a pop of color. As a sculptural Murano glass lighting fixture or striking ikebana floral arrangement punctuating an all-neutral dining room…Viva Magenta packs a lot of drama in a small dose.”
