Pantone’s Color of the Year For 2018 Is “Ultra Violet”

Recently, The New York Times reported that Pantone released their color of the year for 2018. The vivid-yet-not-quite-neon color has given us hair inspo for days. Ultra Violet is a favorite of Prince and now a favorite for us. Below are a few hairstyles that we have spotted on Instagram for our next hairdo:
