We are excited that Viva Magenta is Pantone’s colour of the year for 2023! A hopeful and eye-catching shade, Viva Magenta sets the tone for the new year ahead. The bold colour is rooted in nature, allowing clients a fresh perspective that signals strength, vim and vigour.
Billed by Pantone as a “brave, fearless, and pulsating colour,” which exudes joy and celebration, the crimson tone is a balance between warm and cool. This fearless shade is perfect for clients looking to regain their power in 2023.
Teresa Weller, Director of Teresa Weller Hair Art and thebridalhairartisits.com, shares how to create Viva Magenta looks in the salon.
Viva Magenta
“I love creating empowering tones on my clients in the salon, and this is a shade that will encourage rebellious clients to be even more experimental in their colour choices..” Teresa explains. Viva Magenta is a colour for everyone! Test this hi-vis trend on colour-shy clients by creating a subtle shade with toners and temporary tones.
Nature always inspires hair colour, as seen with viva magenta. This shade can transform any style, whether dazzling crimson or a more subtle incarnation. Teresa loves a deep, fire-inspired tone, and Viva Magenta works well on all skin tones! She recommends cool, ashy reds such as honey blonde, strawberry blonde or golden copper for your clients with warmer skin tones. Colder skin tones suit deeper red or auburn shades.
Recreate Viva Magenta using Revlon Professional
To create the above look, Teresa utilised a mix of balayage and foliage techniques, weaving in a few yellow strands. Tape-in extensions were pre-coloured in shades of red and copper to enhance the heat.
Teresa created the above look using Revlon Professional Revlonissimo Cromatics C50 (purple-red) and Revlon Professional Nutri Color Filters to enhance the depth and add shine. The perfect accompaniment to Pantone’s colour for 2023. We look forward to seeing your own take on the fearless Viva Magenta shade!
