The Pantone Color Institute announced Viva Magenta as the color of the year for 2023. Reflecting a brighter future, Viva Magenta is lively and warm and yet it also contains blue. It is a deep red that can merge into pink, depending on what resonates with you. Think of some variations as wine or raspberry. You choose the shade, based on your true self.
What qualities within the “magentaverse” express who you are and how you feel? Do you want to shout with joy, roar with power and break through to new life, celebrate the beauty of nature, break free from a colorless existence or explore new ways of being? Do you need to be empowered, to be filled with vim and vigor, to gather your courage and strength, to stand out at an event or to get bolder as you get older? Age doesn’t matter. Feel free to use this color of the year in any way that serves you best at this time in your life.
Now that the Pantone Color Institute named their Color of the Year to be Very Peri, I discovered a lot that I hadn’t known before. For one thing, I thought I had only one periwinkle top but discovered it is a light blue. And for another thing, I discovered that I actually have five tops and six scarves that are actually periwinkle but I had thought of them as shades of lavender. When I discovered that, I got interested in combining those pieces into a variety of outfit combinations based on what colors go well with them. Suddenly this blog post was born because I wanted to share with you what I learned. You will find out how to use the color of the year by mixing and matching with other colors in your closet to get the most outfit combinations you can from what you have.
Periwinkle is featured in the True Spring color palette. But actually it is a universal color that looks good on anyone, depending on the shade. And when you use color to your advantage, age doesn’t matter. That’s because wearing your most flattering colors next to your face makes your skin look clearer and your eyes stand out. And you’ll get a beautiful effect with your natural hair color, too. You don’t have to stick with the exact shade of Very Peri. The stores aren’t; they’re offering a wide variety of purples and lavenders. So choose from cool or warm, light or dark, bright or soft shades of purple to find what’s best for you.
