Pantone selected Ultra Violet as its “Color of the Year” for 2018.

The reasoning behind the selection wasn’t just random. Pantone Vice President Laurie Pressman told The Associated Press that it is “very much an optimistic color” intended to bring “peace and calm,” especially in such chaotic times.

Besides the psychology behind the choice, it’s also a gorgeous color that can make any celebration pop at any time of year!
