The Pantone Color Institute forecasts global color trends. They are recognized around the world as a leading source of color information. Each year, they release the Color of the Year and for 2018 the color is 18-3838 Ultra Violet.  This blue-based purple is perfect for accents and kitchen and bath contractors will rush to incorporate the color in new designs.

A Palette of Smoky and Hazy Colors to Calm

Ultra Violet works and plays well with a surprising number of colors. Pair it with greys (and grey is still the hottest neutral), blues, and rose tones. This palette brings calmness to spa-like bathrooms. The hazy and smoky hues play off each other and create subtle harmonies that will remain timeless.

Kitchen and bath contractors will use Ultra Violet alongside the colors that occupy the spaces beside it on the color wheel. Look for rooms that use these color combinations to provide a look that exudes spirited, good humor and playful exuberance.  These engaging color mixes spill out of the bathroom and into the bedroom and living spaces too.

Ultra Violet the Ultra Drama Queen

Look for kitchen and bath contractors to play up the ability of Ultra Violet to star in the role of drama queen. Bring a striking presence to kitchens, dining areas, and living areas. Pair Ultra Violet with other show-stopping saturated colors. The result isn’t garish. To the contrary, you set a mood for excitement and drama. Use Ultra Violet as an accent with earth tones for adventurous bedrooms and bathrooms too.

Desert Sunsets for Any Room

Get the serene feel of a desert sunset any time of day. Ultra Violet goes with warm shades to simulate the palette of the desert sky as the sun sets. Bathroom contractors use Ultra Violet for the perfect California spa retreat bathroom.  This color is perfect for warm wood cabinets or wood-look tile. A little goes a long way. Use as accent tiles, linens, or accessories.
