The holiday fever is still sizzling. While your excitement is still up, Yoorekka knows you’re still hyped up to buy gifts for your family, friends, and colleagues while anticipating your respective Christmas parties and gatherings. If you are running out of gift ideas, why don’t you take inspiration from Pantone’s recently announced lucky color of the year? That is Viva Magenta!
Like its name suggests, Viva Magenta is a color that radiates vigor, rooting from the shade of red, which symbolizes strength. According to Pantone’s website, the 2023 color of the year is empowering and powerful. The color screams joy and exuberance that takes an assertive approach rather than aggressive. Pantone’s Color of the Year 2023, or the Viva Magenta 18-1750, is not just a lucky color. You can also take it as inspiration to give gifts to your loved ones while radiating thoughtfulness and positivity this Christmas.
