“A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future.” Is PANTONE’s description.
Purple has always been a fun color, often used as a symbol of counterculture. Think Prince, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix.
