It’s Bold and Strong
Pantone 18-1750 (Viva Magenta) will take your breath away the moment you look at it. It clearly comes from the red family, and the Pantone Color Institute says it expresses a new signal of strength.
This is because it’s a shade rooted in nature. Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, explained that it’s the color of cochineal, the insect that produces carmine dye. These beetles are strong and resilient—the feeling you get when you look at Viva Magenta.
When your guests step into your home and see these reddish tiles, they’ll be struck by a sense of power and empowerment.
It’s Not Too Aggressive
When you hear “bold” and “strong,” you may worry that Viva Magenta will be obnoxious and look out of place. Worse yet, it might put people off.
However, Pantone says this color doesn’t dominate, but rather takes a “fist in a velvet glove” approach. They’ve given it the tagline of “an unconventional shade for an unconventional time (year).”
So, while Viva Magenta is an eye-catching hue, it doesn’t assault your eyes.
