Ultraviolet, huh?
This special and unusual shade of purple is Pantone's (the color company) color of the year. A beautiful color that's heavy on blue undertones with a cosmic, most-perfect-purple-sunset-ever kind of appeal.
We were immediately in love with the complexity of Ultraviolet. Therefore, we turned to the original color company, Mother Nature, to find flowers that mirror this hue. Here are just a few.
