What is Viva Magenta like?
This color is a combination of red and purple, and its component colors are equivalent to the color violet. It has both cold and warm tones in it. During the selection, Pantone specialists were inspired by nature. The color comes from the red family and was inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the natural dyes. Such a shade is meant to express new layers of strength and encourage us to express ourselves without limits. The name comes from the Italian word "viva," which means "live," and from the name of the color magenta.

With what to combine the color of the year 2023?
Such an intense hue will go well with neutral shades. Beetroot will look great in a combination of white and beige, creating an elegant and fresh arrangement. An interesting effect will also be obtained by combining magenta with gray or silver. These colors will bring out the cool tones of carmine. For contrast, we can also juxtapose this color with classic black. The juxtaposition of dark pink with green will also look intriguing.

Don't be afraid to experiment
Electrifying magenta can give the interior a unique character. However, it is worth remembering moderation. For example, you can paint one wall in the bedroom with this color. This will create a romantic atmosphere in it. A wall with a woman's dressing table will be perfect for this. This energetic color is also ideal for the children's room. By painting a section of the room in this color, you can designate a play area. Another way to add Viva Magenta color to the interior is a single colorful piece of furniture. You will get the best effect by putting on an upholstered armchair, a comfortable sofa or a pouffe. However, remember to choose rather simple forms with such an intense color.

Opt for accessories
However, if you don't want to take any risks, opt for a few small elements in magenta shade. Various textiles such as curtains, plaids, blankets, rugs and pillows will work great. It's also worth adding a few pieces of fashionable colored glass.
