Pantone has announced that Viva Magenta is their color of the year for 2023. To some, this annual announcement may elicit an eye roll. But if you are a homeowner in Alexandria, it should be news to pay attention to especially if selling is in the future as it will be influential in brand marketing and design throughout the world.
A wall painted in Viva Magenta might not be a wise move as it’d be overwhelming but you can use the color, or shades of it, as a way to refresh your home or cottage with accent pieces and accessories such as rugs, pillows, or art. I won’t be surprised to see a Viva Magenta front door some time in 2023 in Alexandria.
