Which New Colors of the Year Will Reign in 2018?

The highly anticipated Pantone 2018 Color of the Year is here, and their pick is Ultra Violet! Pantone says the color (18-3838) communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future. Our editors have mixed feelings about it.

The color is both feminine and bold, which makes a perfect combo for a girl's bedroom like this one pictured where it (and she) can be friendly and fierce at the same time.

Ultra Violet is ideal for making an unexpected statement in any room, even the kitchen. Purple has historically been the color of royalty, and it can look so regal and yet hip and funky at the same time.

Move over millennial pink, we're onto bigger, better and darker things. Glidden's 2018 Color of the Year is Deep Onyx (00NN 07/000)— better known as classic black. This most beloved neutral may be intimidating at first, but paired with crisp white furniture and metallic home accents, black walls may become a staple in creating the contemporary home of your dreams.
