Pantone recently announced its 2018 Color of the Year: Ultra Violet. Like many other shades of purple, Ultra Violet is rich, thoughtful and provocative. In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven and future-oriented workplace, workers need spaces that cultivate the complex thinking that results in innovation. Using purple in interior design targets these characteristics to maximize visionary thinking.
Purple reflects what is needed to succeed in today’s working environment. Pantone emphasizes the originality that this color creates in design. Purple takes all the contemplative, tranquility of blue and blends it with red’s energy and warmth to inspire creativity and mindfulness. It takes two opposing colors that may otherwise clash, melds them together and results in something new and harmonious. It hints at the expansiveness of the universe and represents the limitless possibilities of the future. Pantone chose Ultra Violet for that reason.
