pantone color of the year

All the world’s abuzz over the 2018 Pantone color of the year: Ultra Violet. The gurus at the world’s foremost Color Institute recently decreed that next year will be ruled by this purple hue, but how did it fare in a quick poll at our office? Some of us had an almost reverential appreciation for it. Others were not quite as enamored. Whether you take it or leave it, be prepared: This color will be showing up in home décor, apparel and much, much more. We handpicked some of our favorite Ultra Violet-style designs in the Spoonflower Marketplace to help you channel this mystical color.

It may as well be an International Holiday for designers everywhere: The release day of Pantone’s Color of the Year. Always on trend and (perhaps) even ahead of the trend, Pantone has chosen a fresh, spring green as their heralded hue. Love it or hate it, “Greenery” is about to have its day in the sun and you may just start seeing Pantone 15-0343 everywhere. We’ve rounded up our favorite leafy green hued designs from the Spoonflower Marketplace below. Just tap each image to shop the designs on fabric, wallpaper and gift wrap. Not a huge fan of greenery? Just give it some time, it just might grow on you.
