Pantone Colour of the Year 2024: Peach Fuzz

Pantone specialises in colour-matching around the world and has become a leader in the business of colour and design since the 1950s when it all began.

Its ‘Colour of the Year’ program has been going since 1999 with the aim to inspire the global design community. Each year, the colour is chosen by experts at the Pantone Color Institute by trawling through entertainment, art collections, fashion and other areas of creativity to decide on any emerging themes that can influence the colour chosen for that year.

For 2024, ‘Peach Fuzz’ has been chosen as the shade that’ll enrich “mind, body, and soul” for the coming year. The gentle hue has been selected as a reminder that in times of turmoil, it is critical to find time for rest and connection to take care of ourselves. Colour psychology claims that peach shades have an uplifting effect on your mood and can make you feel more optimistic.

Pinterest predicts: Cafécore
