CHICAGOWEDDINGRESOURCE.COM“Provocative and thoughtful” is how Pantone® describes the 2018
color of the year. According to the company it is a color that
embodies individuality and spirituality and speaks of the mysteries
of the cosmos and the unknown.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the institute, said: “We are
living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination. It is
this kind of creative inspiration that is indigenous to Pantone 18-
3838 ultra violet, a blue-based purple that takes our awareness and
potential to a higher level.
“From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic
expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive ultra violet lights the
way to what is yet to come.”
Enigmatic purples have also long been symbolic of counterculture,
unconventionality, and artistic brilliance. Musical icons Prince,
David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix brought shades of Ultra Violet to the
forefront of western pop culture as personal expressions of
individuality.
In 2018 we will see designers using this bold shade of purple
in fashion, cosmetics, home décor and in weddings.
When choosing your wedding color palate ultra violet pairs
beautifully with the 2018 spring colors released for N.Y.
Fashion Week some months ago. There are fifteen beautiful
colors to combine and use with ultra violet to make you
wedding colors unique.
Using the sixteen colors that make up the spring/summer
2018 color palate your choices are limitless when using them
in combinations of two, three, four or more to make your
wedding imaginative and uniquely your own.
A dramatically provocative and
thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE
18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates
originality, ingenuity, and visionary
thinking that points us toward
the future.
