2023 Pantone Color Of The Year – Viva Magenta

We love the clean and sharp look of classic black and white, which is definitely a 2023 wedding trend! But we also LOVE a dramatic pop of color. Pantone 2023 Color of the Year is Viva Magenta, a bright and bold fuchsia-red that is described as “brave and fearless,” in the Pantone color announcement.

COLOR

Pantone describes the 2023 Color of the Year as, “a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength.” They go on to explain it as “a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative.” What a perfect color to incorporate into a wedding!

With neutral popularity at a high this year, this color is perfect right alongside many pale greys, beiges, and creams, adding a simple splash of color to the mix. This magenta will bring an elegant compliment when combined with various blues and pastels. If you’re wanting a high contrast for a bold statement, teal, navy, black and white would be beautiful and highlight this color flawlessly!

STYLE

This color is lively and striking; it could easily be incorporated into a wedding through numerous fashion possibilities. Because of its bold and bright characteristics, you can use it in small amounts with lip color, hair accessory, nail polish, pocket squares and jewelry. Another option is to go all out and make a bolder color statement with a bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen shirts or just imagine that flower girl walking down the aisle in this vibrant magenta – if that doesn’t just make you want to smile!

“this versatile shade is universally flattering across ages, genders, and skin tones.”

FLORAL

Pantone defines Viva Magenta as a hybrid color that is transformative; it holds both red and pink characteristics, with neither color holding dominance. Because of its transformative appearance, it will go beautifully with countless flowers! We can easily see this vibrant color being used in 2023 weddings.
