Colors to Pair with Ultra Violet

Pairing Ultra Violet with compatible shades will help tone down the intense color and prevent it from seeming overbearing or gaudy.

Shades of yellow and gold will pair perfectly together. These complementary colors can be incorporated together easily if you already have gold elements in your home. You can also incorporate patterns containing soft yellows and bold purple through accents such as throw pillows.

Purple is also paired with with subtle earthy tones. Think of flowers and sunsets, where you see purple naturally. To tone down the color, you can consider pairing it with soft blues, greens, and warm pinks for a balanced design.

Ultra Violet Requires Subtlety

Pantone chose a bold and bright color, so it can easily steal the spotlight in your space. When incorporating it into your home, choose only one or two elements in the color. One signature piece of furniture, such as an accent chair, can look lovely when paired with other complementary colors in the room. You can also include it through artwork and floral elements for more subtle options.
