I work with PowerPoint on a daily basis and I am very honored to be a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP. We have a talented team of presentation designers at TLC Creative Services and ThePowerPointBlog is our area to highlight PowerPoint tips, tricks, examples and tutorials. Enjoy! Troy Chollar
Pantone 2023 Color of the Year – Viva Magenta
For 2023, Pantone’s Color of the Year is #18-1750 – Viva Magenta.
I like it. It is…
While reading about the color of the year, I learned something I have never read about before – how Pantone picks the color of the year. Overall, as a graphic designer, this was a great read. The key takeaways (for me):
- Pantone Color of the Year started in 1999.
- Each year Pantone has a global team of color experts that are not all Pantone employees.
- Colors are recommendations based on anything and everything that influences color; entertainment, travel, lifestyles, etc. and a study of trends, but not a timely fad (note: the color may not be a fad, but the tagline, “welcome to the Magentaverse”, definitely is!).
- The process is generally identify, and agree, on a color. Then continue the process to determine the shade of that color.
- And it is a global design thing, so I like it 😊

PowerPoint – and Luxury
As my final blog post of 2022, I had to get this image somehow. PowerPoint is our company and it is so much more than just “PowerPoint”. But everyone now and then, PowerPoint is big (like the top image of Lori running presentations TLC Creative designed for a 32′ screen) and luxury (like the bottom image with Lori showcasing the personalized monogram bed pillows while at an event!).
