Using Pantone Color In Home Decor When Pantone Colour Institute announced “Ultra Violet” as the Colour of the Year for 2018, it seemed a natural choice for the fashion and beauty industry. This bold, forward-thinking hue represents a tectonic shift away from the softer pastels that previously dominated the two domains. The home decor segment, on the other hand, is also abuzz with Ultra Violet. Be it for a traditional or a modern-chic setting, Ultra Violet is known for a spiritual, magnetic quality that conveniently elevates the glam quotient of any living space. From sprucing up the furniture with cushions to placing a stunning artwork on the bedroom wall to re-doing the kitchen cabinets – all in Ultra Violet – there are plenty of ways to incorporate this stunning shade.
