Described by Pantone as ‘a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade that communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future’, it hones spiritual and mystical properties – which make for stunning nail creations.
“We are living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination,” comments Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of The Pantone Color Institute. “It is this kind of creative inspiraiton that is indigenous to Pantone Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple that takes our awareness and potential to a higher level.

The Pantone Color Institute advises companies on colour in brand identity and product development, leveraging the power, psychology and emotion of colour in their design strategy.
