Viva Magenta (a shade of pink similar to the flowers in the phots) is Pantone’s color of the year for 2023. I have been in like a zillion houses. I have seen every trend from past decades. Some folks will paint their wall magenta. I think that is fine until/unless it is time to sell the house.
For those who must have throw pillows on every soft horizontal surface magenta pillows might be an option. I wouldn’t mind wearing a magenta-colored shirt. Perhaps a magenta-colored dish towel or two?
Some of the trends from two decades ago can still be found everywhere. During the “Tuscan era,” entire homes had their interiors painted yellow. I tried it out in a room and I have to say that I got tired of it quickly. Yellow is also hard to photograph. Sometimes the photos have a yellowish cast to them.
I went back to various shades of white and grey. I tried a bright red in the very early 2000s. I never really got tired of it but it made decorating challenging.
I was never a fan of celery which was an extremely popular color for many years.
When choosing paint colors choose wisely.
