Every year Pantone Inc releases a color of the year
<blockquote>Since 2000,the Pantone Color Institute declares a particular color "Color of the Year". Twice a year the company hosts, in a European capital, a secret meeting of representatives from various nations' color standards groups.</blockquote>

My mother was particularly enthusiastic for the color assigned in 2017 being she is a massive fan of anything Green. 2017 was <i>Greenery Pantone 15-0343</i>

This year, 2018, the institute assigned the color <b>Ultraviolet</b> as the color of the year

<blockquote>A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future.</blockquote>


Executive Director Leatrice also has something to say about Ultraviolet:
