Pantone Color of the Year: Ultra Violet

Let's be honest, I'm never going to wear the 2018 Pantone color of the year. Ultra violet just isn't my color. I suppose that means I won't ever become royalty (I'll just have to live vicariously through Meghan Markle). But I did find a few purple items that I think are pretty cute, even if I won't ever wear them myself, lol. Are you into ultra violet? I might end up trying out this color as a lipstick or nail polish, but not as a full look. You can shop the items here directly -- shoppable links below the image -- and then check out my past posts on the Pantone colors from the last five years.

Since 2013, which Pantone color has been your favorite so far?

Last year's greenery didn't do much for me as green just isn't my color. Unfortunately, 2018 is going to be the second year in a row that I'm just not a fan of the color of the year.

This year was my favorite Pantone year. I love that they combined two colors, and I love the colors that were chosen. As you already know, pink and blue is one of my favorite color combinations!

Marsala was actually a fun color for me. It was a great shade for makeup products like lipstick and and nail polishes. Since it's basically a shade of burgundy, marsala is also a great color for accessories like shoes and bags.

This was a really fun shade, but let's be honest, radiant orchid is just another shade of ultra violet. Isn't it weird that Pantone would do colors that are so similar within four years?

And isn't emerald very similar to greenery? I mean, c'mon Pantone! Get more creative. In 2019 I want to see a fun shade of orange or blue or yellow! Or at least a shade that's more wearable.
