VIVA MAGENTA: Pantone's Color of 2023

 

You're not up to date unless you know that Pantone's color of 2023 is Viva Magenta.  Pantone has been doing this since 2000.

Condé Nast Traveler had various spots around the world featuring this color.  Click that link to see all of them.  Here are some others, too, starting with Lake Hillier in Australia, which is hard to get to, for it will take an 8-hour drive from Perth.  The deep hue comes from the presence of a microalgae, Dunaliella salina.

Australia has a variety of pink lakes, and another one is Hutt Lagoon, a five hour drive north of Perth.  Something about Western Australia and the Indian Ocean.  Dunaliella salina is farmed here, the world's largest microalgae production plant.
Holi Hindu Festival of Colors in India, celebrating the end of winter and arrival of spring around mid-March throughout India.  The biggest occurs in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, which is about 125 miles from Delhi.
Along the Catalonia coast of Spain at Costa Brava is a reef with coral.
The Putra Mosque in Malaysia features rose-tinted granite.
Tulips in the Netherlands.
Pink incense sticks in Vietnam.
This one is a stretch, but Rainbow Mountain located 62 miles from Cuzco, Peru sort of looks Viva Magenta in layers.
Cochineal beetles.

Going to a lot of films over the next few days.  So, off I go.
