It smells like a tree! The low-carbon one from our French forests, the innovative one from a book exclusive to matériO, the one dreamt of new and parallel worlds called metavers, the one from a good flambé in a gallery, the one from the creative Pop-up Store of Christmas… The one cut for weeks that will lose its thorns less quickly thanks to the now imposed 19° in your interiors.
The good news – which will only last a year – is that after the near-polar and visionary Very Peri of 2022, it’s a Viva Magenta – closely related to carmine, crimson red or deep raspberry – which was unveiled a few days ago as the Pantone color of the year 2023. “It’s a nuanced carmine red tone that cultivates a balance between warm and cool, a hybrid color,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
It’s a great way to get your energy back and enjoy the party before the holidays!
So, enjoy and above all, take care!
