Okay, so, I got wind of this “Pantone 2018 color of the year” thing and, you know, I just had to try it out. They’re calling it Ultra Violet, which sounds pretty fancy, right? It’s this deep, intense purple – like, really purple. The code for it is 18-3838, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Getting Started
- First things first, I had to find some stuff in this Ultra Violet color.
- I hit up a few stores, just browsing around, seeing what caught my eye.
Experimenting with the Color
I found this awesome scarf in exactly that shade, and a quirky little vase that I thought would look cool on my desk. Then, I started playing around with it.
- I tried the scarf with a bunch of different outfits. It actually goes with more than you’d think!
- Tried it with my plain white tee, made it pop, and my jeans – looked great. It went surprisingly well with my grey sweater.
- That vase? It added a nice touch of color to my otherwise boring workspace.
Mixing and Matching
It’s wild how this one color can just change the vibe of a whole outfit or even a room. I even tried finding some make up in the same shade to try it out. I wore it to a party with my black dress and got compliments all night.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, this Ultra Violet thing? It’s pretty cool. It’s not every day you see a color and think, “I need that in my life.” But this one? It got me. I wore the scarf out a few times, even got a few compliments. And the vase is now a permanent fixture on my desk. It’s like a little burst of color that just makes me happy whenever I see it.
