Ultra Violet: Pantone color of the year for 2018

Are you wanting to be on trend with the latest fashion, interior design, and home decors? This year, Pantone is here to tell us what color will dominate all your decoration and that’s –Ultra Violet. This color is described as a thoughtful and proactive purple shade which can definitely add aesthetic-look in everything. Besides the embodiment of the color ultraviolet for spirituality and individuality – what’s more?

In this article, let’s tackle why ultraviolet is the color of the year and how this could be your perfect choice for your next project.

Color Inspiration

The Pantone color institute is a renowned consulting service which forecasts the different trends in color and helps color companies for product development, brand identity, and the strategic assentation and integration of color and palette recommendations.

According to Executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman – the Ultra Violet color is associated with mystical or spiritual quality which infers magic into mindfulness practices. Every shade of purple embodies rich, noting, and transcendent associations and are deeply evocative. It has been known to be associated with wealth, craftsmanship, ecclesiastical power, royalty, and counter culturalism.Pantone-Colors-2018

Expectations

As the fact that purple color is often associated with artistic expression and plays a vogue history in its turning point – ultraviolet is continuously becoming popular as seen in the first decade of the 20th century. So, no wonder that more and more designers, as well as interior designers, are opting for this color.

The vibrant and rich color of Pantone 18-3838 TCX Ultra Violet – we can conclude that it could be a sign of a rebirth or renaissance of cultural practices in the (not so) near future.

Because of the inherited cool and warm temperature of the color, it can perfectly mesh with other colors. The versatility of the ultraviolet serves as a strong complementary color which speaks to contemporary culture’s mutability. You can associate the color with deep colors like chocolate brown or emerald green. You could also mesh it with lighter shades like blush or celery green.

According to the Executive Director of the Pantone Institute, ultra violet can stand out with so many different colors.

So maybe now you’re wondering – how could you use this color to decorate your homes and transform it into a mystical place? Here are some ways that you could follow to get the most out of the color of the year.

Use it as an accent

Additionally, instead of painting the entire room, adding of rugs, pillows, or layered textiles will surely add a fresher look and keep your interior design on the color trend. Incorporating ultra violet in into the different areas or items in your house could be your ideal first step. Whether a purple pair of pillows, lilac in a jar, or a violet vintage rug –adding this color of the year will surely bring out the inner originality, individuality, and cultural eccentrics of the house.

Adopt Moody theme

Rich fabrics think leather, dark-colored woods, supersaturated dark colors –those are the main factors for creating a romantic and dark theme for your house. Ultra violet color is a great choice if you want to embrace a moody theme for your home; from bathrooms, dining, to the living room, purple hues will surely give a soothing and vibrant lift on the space.

Consider the effect

Keep in mind that incorporating the Ultraviolet with other colors in the proper way will surely help you achieve a great result. If you’re unsure about the combination of the color you’d want for your home, you could contact Professional Painters for help. These painting companies can offer you an extensive task and help you with your home décor painting decisions.

You want your guest’s eyes to gaze the room and not crowded just by looking in every direction – so, as mentioned earlier, start with a few accents before gradually adding more of this color.

Conclusion:

Choosing this color of the year – Ultraviolet is perfect for those who would prefer a trend-forward and more muted approach for transforming into the calm, comforting, mystical, and sophisticated home. No matter what color you choose this year, and the following years to come, colors are definitely important.

If They Grow It, They’ll Eat It – 3 Tips for Pre-School Edible Gardens

If They Grow it They Will Eat ItPhoto credit/site https://unsplash.com/photos/PMxoh8zJNb0

The earlier we teach our children about the cycle of life and how we obtain the food we eat the better. If you ask most youngsters where food comes from, they will say the grocery store. Of course, we are amused. But many children in today’s society do not have a clue what goes into the food they are eating, how much effort it took to produce it, or that food is fuel to help them grow.

Picky eaters

We have all had them. Our child, niece or nephew, or grandchild who suddenly will not eat anything but mac and cheese. If you do not give them mac and cheese, they go into a melt down. It is difficult to handle this situation because the child has to eat, and you know he needs more nutrition.

Teachable and edible moments

In our history, virtually every child understood that in order to eat, the garden had to be tended, livestock had to be taken care of and that products like butter, fruits, and dried foods required a lot of work. Today’s child may grow up in an environment that never introduces them to farming. Yet, farming is essential to him and all of us.

Begin by explaining where foods come from. Let your child help you with the groceries. Teach them about the differences in fresh food versus canned or dried foods. When you have their interest, pull up some places on your computer and show them what area in the world produces the most coffee, citrus, and other foods.

Lead the way

The best way to explain gardening to your child is to put in a preschooler friendly edible garden. You can start with a small patch of ground and select the seeds together. Get them involved. Let them handle the seeds, plant them, and water them. Explain the nutritional needs the garden has and where is comes from. If you don’t know these things, it is a great time to learn. Download some free gardening apps to help you.

Tips to getting your child to try foods

  • Plant easy foods that your child may like.

Cucumbers, carrots, strawberries, and blueberries are among the choices. These are easy plants, and your child can help plant, water, harvest, and clean them. After all that work, and with some high praise from you, they will want to enjoy eating the foods.

  • Insect and bugs

Gardens attract bees, worms, bugs, and other critters. Now is a great time to show your child that bugs have a job to do. They are not an enemy. Watch them work in the soil. There is no better way to teach your child that everything has a purpose, and there is no reason to fear.

  • Use the plate map

Draw a line down the center of a paper plate. Let your child use crayons or stickers to fill up half the plate with fruits and vegetables. The other half is for meat and bread. Let them decorate the plate and then hang it near where they eat. This will help them see that they are eating the right amounts of food. When you give a child just a little encouragement and authority, he will take it to new heights.

Make it a group activity

Let your child’s friends get in on the activity. If you are having a birthday party for your child, consider blank seed envelopes for seed storage and seed packet favors. Your child will be the center of attention, and he will share his knowledge with his peers. There is no better way to get the whole neighborhood on board. Maybe, you can plant a community garden.

Once your child learns first-hand about food and he actually grows it himself, he will be more willing to try the foods. This is a healthy family activity. If more families will do this, we can see an end to obesity in our children.
