Parsons Playlists: Pantone “Viva Magenta”

Posted on February 10, 2023 by marmstr3

Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student manager Amy (class of 2025) and features songs inspired by Pantone’s 2023 color of the year.

Viva Magenta

It’s a new year which means that Pantone, a revolutionary color-matching system, has released their color of the year. 2023’s color is Viva Magenta, which is described as a symbol of new strength, bravery, and joy. Pantone Color Institute’s executive director describes Viva Magenta as a color to reconnect us to our spirit and nature. You can find the Viva Magenta phones from Motorola, Spoonflower and Pantone created six different Viva Magenta-themed fabrics. Cariuma, a skate shoe brand, created six different shoe styles that are all Viva Magenta. Here are 12 songs that remind me of Viva Magenta:

SZA – “Kill Bill”

Taylor Swift – “Vigilante Shit”

Dominic Fike – “She Wants My Money”

Declan McKenna – “Beautiful Faces”

Declan McKenna – “British Bombs”

Cage the Elephant & Beck – “Night Running”

Pearl Jam – “Dance of the Clairvoyants”

Frank Ocean – “Swim Good”

Cold War Kids – “Hang Me Up To Dry”

Hippo Campus – “boys”

Maggie Rogers – “Want Want”
