The 2018 Color of the Year is Ultra Violet 18-3838. This color symbolizes originality, forward-thinking, mystery, and contemplation.

Brilliant artists such as Prince, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix brought shades of purple into the limelight of pop culture. That is no surprise as purples have often symbolized unconventional thinking and non-conformity. Ultra Violet may just inspire you to put your unique mark on the world. Ultra Violet also has a mystical and spiritual connection. In fact, meditation spaces often utilize purples to energize and inspire connections.

Last year, Pantone chose Greenery 15-0343 to symbolize new beginnings as the color of the year. Take a look at the history of the former Pantone Color of the Year selections.
