Adding boldness and drama in 2018 was the plan for Pantone with their Color of the Year choice, Ultra Violet. “Complex and contemplative, Ultra Violet suggests the mysteries of the cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond where we are now,” according to Pantone. This shade of purple acts as a unique accent when added to home décor. If you are looking to modernize your space, Ultra Violet just might be the pop you want this year. And if this shade is too bright for your tastes, we found its complementary colors to be quite soothing.
Here are 60 ways—found locally—to freshen up your space with the Color of the Year and its complementary colors this season.
