The announcement of [**Ultra Violet**](https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2018) as the Color of the Year for 2018 inspired a division in public opinion: some loved it; others, not so much.

If it just isn’t for you, you can always count on good ol’ **Millennial Pink**, the color that eclipsed Pantone’s chosen [Color of the Year for 2017](https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2017), to keep you classy and in style come 2018.

Slide on those pink-tinted glasses and look back at where this color took us in 2017.

**Millennial Pink was introduced in the [2017 Spring Color](https://www.pantone.com/fashion-color-report-spring-2017) report as “Pale Dogwood,” a mix of salmon, peach, and pink tones which Pantone described as “[a quiet and peaceful pink shade that engenders an aura of innocence and purity… a subtle pink whose soft touch infuses a healthy glow.](https://www.pantone.com/fashion-color-report-spring-2017)”**
