Ultra Violet.

It's a deep purple.

Life can carry on now that we all know this. *lol*

How do they pick their "color of the year" anyway?

There's a good thread in Fashion about it.   Very pretty color IMO.

It was good enough for Prince (RIP) so I guess it's ok for Pantone.

Shouldnt we all have a vote on this?...........

This is how they say the color is chosen.........

Before the Color of the Year is chosen, Pantone’s color experts search and consider hues being used all over the world, often in the fashion and entertainment industries. Once the search is over, Pantone hosts a secret two-day meeting, where these experts can suggest their favorite finds to be the winner. Choosing the Color of the Year is not as simple as picking the most flattering or stylish color, however. According to the executive director at Pantone, Leatrice Eiseman, the color “has to resonate around the world, to express in color what is taking place in the global zeitgeist.” In a press release, the company stated that the Color of the Year “has always been an integral part of how a culture expresses the attitudes and emotions of the times.”

Nope.  Love as an accent color in a few rooms in my house, but not on me.

As I mentioned on the earlier thread about this color for 2018, I'm not a purple fan.  Actually, I probably only have one or two items in my closet that belong to the purple family.
