This beautiful magenta shade comes from the red color family. It’s inspired from carmine, a natural red color additive used for food, clothes, beauty products and other commercial goods. Viva Magenta is an excellent partner with neutral tones like beige, brown, and white. Viva Magenta is fearless, fun and playful. It’s bold and eye-catching, making it an ideal accent color to create areas of interest. Try painting chairs, furniture, or a smaller wall with this spunky pink for a change of pace.
Adding original art is a quick and effective way to incorporate rich Viva Magenta in your decor. There are plenty of styles to choose from, too. From abstract art to animation cells, you can be sure there is something Viva Magenta for everyone’s tastes.
