I’ve already found it at my favorite home decor store – HomeGoods! I love the Ultra Violet decor that I saw!
This is how Ultra Violet is described:A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the institute, said: “We are living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination. It is this kind of creative inspiration that is indigenous to Pantone 18-3838 ultra violet, a blue-based purple that takes our awareness and potential to a higher level.“From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive ultra violet lights the way to what is yet to come.”

January 16, 2018 at 3:10 pmI too am not a fan of purple. Olive skin and deep warm colors through out my home just does not lend itself to a purple vibe. I love purples in my garden. The deeper the better. Not sure why there is such a disconnect between what I like for out vs inside. Perhaps the back drop of blue sky. Now I am beating my head against a wall trying to transition from deep warm cozy to the trending minimalist style.
