Firm Pantone announces the color of the next year in every December which has an effect on interior design also. Ultra Violet no. 18-3838 is the color of the year in 2018.
Scientifically, it is not a color but a range of short wavelength which is beyond the range of visible light. The color given by Pantone is a cool, vivid and middle strong hue which contains more blue. It can be used well on bigger surfaces also, but it should be counterweighted by neutral colors (black, white, brown, grey, beige) because of its vividness. It is not a food color, so it should be used moderately in the kitchen and dining room, rather only on accessories. It is a popular color since years, not only in interior design.
The purple color always signed or meant a specific or mysterious thing during the history and in symbolism. For example, it was the color of mourning in the French Royal House. It is the favorite color of the clothes of magicians and fairies in tales. It is popular among children also.
