Bursting into 2023 with positivity and vitality, magenta has been named Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2023. A rich shade that is full of personality, magenta is an eye catching shade of pink that can be easily incorporated into any outfit, interior design or personal style.
Make magenta the central colour of any space or outfit or use it to add a welcome splash of colour. What’s more, this colour is spring-ready and perfect for your style as we skip into the warmer seasons. If you’re keen to indulge in this fabulous shade, here’s how.
Incorporating it into your wardrobe
Magenta is an accent colour and not one for shying away into the background. It’s bold and it’s beautiful, making it the perfect shade to breathe some life into otherwise tired outfits. Following hot on the heels of Valentino’s viral fuchsia pink moment, magenta is expected to pop up in all cuts and styles in all the shops. So, keep an eye out!
Seeing as its such a vibrant shade, make it the centrepiece of your outfit by pairing it with neutral shades or even black. This way, you’ll let the magenta sing and it will cause quite the stir.
Bring into your jewellery
Out with the predictable silver and gold, in with brilliant magenta. The jewellery industry is really embracing the trend by incorporating beautiful, coloured gems into timeless pieces like engagement rings and necklaces. Adding a splash of pink to your engagement ring will not only make it unique, but it will also stand out in a way that other stones don’t.
Look out for rich pink and bright raspberry gemstones in the shops this year. And if you’re looking for something really special, the Padparadscha Sapphire (the rarest of all the sapphires) comes in an intense pink/orange colour and almost glows from within. Needless to say, it’s a really special stone that is worth every penny.
You might also want to incorporate a Rubellite Tourmaline or traditional ruby into your jewellery box.
Incorporate it into your home
If you’re hoping to add some punchy colours to your home, magenta is the answer you’ve been looking for. This striking shade is surprisingly versatile, lending itself perfectly to most spaces. This hue promises to accentuate any space and afford it a fun and jovial personality.
Play around with the colour, making it the main character of a space. Try painting just one wall in the colour and pair it with something neutral like grey. Alternatively, see if you can buy accessories like lamps, cushions and bedding in the colour. This way, it won’t steal the main focus whilst also adding an extra something.
