The Pantone Color Institute has unveiled the main color of 2018 - Deep Ultraviolet, listed under the number 18-3838. And this is the year of the yellow dog! Pantone officially explained that they chose this intense color because it conveys "originality, ingenuity, fascinating and intriguing at the same time."
Certainly bold (complex!) Ultraviolet light will not appear in large quantities in our wardrobes - many designers note. A lush, rich shade, even in small doses, has a great impact on the overall look.
Ultraviolet in the interior
Violet saturated and pastel shades are considered soothing, therefore they are desirable in our interiors. Ultraviolet is an unusual shade - designers advise to boldly use it for the dining room (or kitchen - it suppresses appetite), bedrooms, bathrooms. It is dosed to supplement in other well-lit rooms (living rooms), as a counterweight (accent) to the basic usual colors. The only thing is he is somewhat narrows down space.
What to combine ultraviolet with?
It is easiest to combine with basic shades in your wardrobe or wear as an accessory - hat, cap, gloves, handbag, shoes, jewelry. Let's look at examples of how the queen of street style and style icon Georgia Tordini, Gigi Hadid and others create harmonious images with this color.
An image in total (monochrome) violet looks better in more delicate shades of lilac, lavender.
If you want to find more interesting combinations, then refer to the color wheel. Ultraviolet light looks harmoniously with blue, red, blue, yellow, orange and their shades. Let's say with beige, gold or silver.
By the way, if yellow does not suit you, you still have not decided in what outfit to celebrate the New Year, then feel free to choose - shades of purple. For example, a lilac luxurious evening dress.
Recall that the main color of 2017 was Greenery - it was a bold choice, but it was relatively easy to integrate it both into our wardrobe and into the design of apartments. Do not miss: yellow dress, 12 options from the catwalks, hits of the New 2018.
