After the Covid 19 pandemic, people seem to have a multi-dimensional view and care more about the natural world. This is clearly shown in the lifestyle trend of “bringing nature into every corner of the house” with plants, flowers, conducting interesting and healthy outdoor activities such as travel and sports. In particular, the sense of protecting and respecting nature has become more popular in newspapers and social networking sites.

Awareness of nature and the environment is enhanced, this fact promotes the meaning and role of Viva Magenta. This color is organically sourced from the cochineal beetle, which “produces carmine dye, one of the most precious, strongest, and brightest of the natural dye family”. It is rich, warm and infuses positive energies for a great source of strength.
