Visions of Violet

Visions of Violet The highly anticipated Pantone 2018 Color of the Year is here, and their pick is Ultra Violet! Pantone states the colour (18-3838) communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future. Our editors have mixed feelings about it.



Essence of Empowerment The colour is both female and bold, which makes a perfect combo for a girl's bedroom such as this one envisioned where it (and she) can be friendly and fierce at precisely the same time.



A Shade That Rules Ultra Violet is perfect for making a surprising statement in any room, even the kitchen. Purple has been the colour of royalty, and it can look so regal and yet stylish and funky at the same time.



Dive Into the Darkness With Deep Onyx Move over millennial pink, we're onto bigger, darker and better things. Glidden's 2018 Shade of the Year is Deep Onyx (00NN 07/000)-- better called classic black. This most beloved neutral may be intimidating at first, but paired with sharp white furniture and metallic home accents, black partitions might become a staple in creating the modern home of your dreams.



Paint the Town Black If you are struggling on choosing a wall color for your area, take some advice from the Rolling Stones and "Paint It Black." Using a black such as Deep Onyx from floor to ceiling is the best method to add contemporary style to any bedroom, without being too overpowering. The shadow of the walls paired with light wood furniture and bright decorations creates a contrast that is merely to-die-for.



Create a Bold, Modern Contrast By pairing this luxurious black accent wall with white linens, neutral fittings and tiled, coordinating throw pillows, this modern bedroom becomes a dreamy, minimalist haven. Add some greenery and faux fur for that extra dash of mid-mod flair.



Spice up Your Spaces with Caliente Another bold accession to the 2018 Color of the Year family is Benjamin Moore's radiant, lush Caliente (AF-290). According to color specialists, this bright red colour is paired well with airy, peachy tones, and therefore don't throw of your millennial pink throw pillows just yet!



Make a Bold Statement Best used as a bold accent color, bright reds will certainly shine in almost any area. Pair with neutrals to play it safe, or combine with other bright hues to create an enjoyable, lively living space. For a chic, contemporary look, utilize crisp white furniture and linens to make your red walls pop.



Seeing Red The energy of red inspires creativity and easily becomes the focal point of any room. Use this lavish color to ensemble an otherwise plain gallery wall or dress up a drab staircase to the ultimate home makeover.



Turn Wanderlust Into Decor With Oceanside Described by its creators as, "a complex, deep color that provides a sense of the familiar with a hint of the unknown," Sherwin Williams' Oceanside (SW 6496) is your real colour of wanderlust. Inspired by thoughts of experiences in far-off areas and fantasies of tropical holidays, this rich, blue-green shade is destined to become a star in 2018.



Add Tropical Flair to Every Space Whether you are outfitting an entire living space or dressing up the family toilet, a bright blue color is a perfect color to make a bold, fun statement in any space-- regardless of the size. Throw this vibrant turquoise on any wall to make a tropical getaway in the comfort of your own house.



A Picture-Perfect Accent Shade If covering an whole room with a bright blue is a bit too over-the-top to your preference, this enchanting shade also makes a perfect accent color. Add a colorful front doorway to liven up your house's entryway, or perhaps paint some old furniture to make a vibrant contrast in rooms that are otherwise plain.



Live in the Moment Taking a step back from the bold and moving more into the serene, Behr's From the Moment (T18-15) adds some coastal calmness into the 2018 Color of the Year family. As stated by the color experts, "this comfortable color evokes a feeling of sanctuary and relaxation amid our busy, always-on lives."



A Perfect Fit for Every Space Whether you would like a beachy escape or a rustic farmhouse appearance, this light blue color can match any flavor. Paired finest with crisp whites and neutrals, this comfortable spruce blue is an excellent selection for just about any space. Throw in a few greenery to add much more freshness to the overall look.



Versatility and Tranquility Coupled with dark wood furniture, light linens and crisp home accents, a soothing blue may flip a dingy bedroom to the perfect tranquil hideaway. A perfect mix of soft green and blue, this shade is just as much versatile because it is cool and calm.
