Blaze a Trail with Ultra Violet

With 2017 placed squarely in our rear view mirror, we look at the road ahead with renewed vigor and excitement. There’s something reenergizing about the start of a new year, like turning a page in a book.

So it’s no wonder the Pantone Color Institute has named “Ultra Violet” the color of the year for 2018. Characterizing the blue-based purple as inventive and imaginative, it “lights the way to what is yet to come,” according Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the institute.

Here are a few ways to bring this shade of the cosmos into your home.
