PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2024: Peach Fuzz
Pantone has recently unveiled the Color of the Year for 2024, and it's none other than "Peach Fuzz" or PANTONE 13-1023. Renowned for its influence on color standards and digital innovations within the design realm, Pantone's choice reflects a deliberate shift towards fostering empathy and understanding. Positioned between the delicate shades of pink and orange, this soft and inviting hue embodies qualities of tenderness.
This annual event also marks the 25th anniversary of Pantone's Color of the Year initiative, inaugurated in 1999 with the iconic Pantone 15-4020 Cerulean Blue. Since its inception, the program has transformed into a cultural phenomenon.
But... let's get back to this new color.
Often associated with healing, Pantone's Peach Fuzz goes beyond being just a color; it serves as an inspiration for fostering a sense of community and encourages moments of introspection. Leatrice Eiseman, the Director of Pantone's Color Institute, underscores its unique ability to provide comfort and inner peace and convey serenity.
