Viva Magenta is Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2023

This Pantone color number is 18-1750 TCX and is called Viva Magenta. To me, this color is a dark version of plain magenta.

Viva Magenta is described as a “brave and fearless red shade” by freepik.com and Pantone adds this color is a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration. They also add that Viva Magenta is a balance between warm and cool. They also add this color is a hybrid color.

Viva Magenta’s organic origins hail from the cochineal beetle and being red, it is a celebration of life.

Viva Magenta Color Codes

Hex Code#BB2649
RGB Values(187, 38, 73)

HSV/HSB Values(346°, 80%, 73%)

See 2022’s Color of the year, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri.

In 2022, I never used Very Peri in anything I printed or designed. I don’t see myself using Viva Magenta in 2023 either. I do not know how they pick these colors.
