Color Game : Ultra Violet / 2018 Pantone Color of the Year

"Ultra Violet" is the 2018 Pantone "Color of the Year." Could this dark, dull grayish purple be a new neutral?

As Pantone describes, "Nuanced and full of emotion, the depth of PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet symbolizes experimentation and non-conformity, spurring individuals to imagine their unique mark on the world, and push boundaries through creative outlets." Whew! That's a lot to expect of a color. Let's take a look at how we can incorporate "the color of the year" into our rooms for 2018.
