Learn what Pantone is, how it chooses the Colour of the Year, why it decided Peach Fuzz for 2024, and how to channel it in your home design decor.
What Pantone Is and Why It Chooses the Colour of the Year
According to LinkedIn, Pantone is the global colour authority and professional color standards provider for the design industries. The company's origin date is 1962, and its headquarters are in Carlstadt, New Jersey. It intends to provide a universal colour language for brands, manufacturers, and their colour-critical decisions.
The Pantone Colour Institute guides the future colour direction and studies colour's influences on human thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions. The Institute created the Pantone Colour of the Year Program to engage the design community and colour enthusiasts worldwide in conversations about colour. Its purpose is to focus on the relationship between colour and present-day culture.
How Pantone Selects the Colour of the Year
Choosing the Colour of the Year isn't arbitrary. The Pantone Colour Institute conducts macro-level colour trend forecasting and trend analysis year-round. Its global team of colour scientists discusses trends and choices throughout the year. One of the most significant influences of the Colour of the Year is what's currently happening in global culture. For example, 2023's vibrant Viva Magenta shade represents "an unconventional shade for an unconventional time."
Pantone chose Peach Fuzz 13-1023 to symbolize our need for nurturing, empathy, and compassion during global turmoil. It represents warmth, comfort, and community. In addition to showing the longing for human connection, Peach Fuzz has a light yet impactful digital aesthetic. In Pantone's words, Peach Fuzz's "gentle lightness and airy presence lifts us into the future."
Peach Fuzz in Home Design
A significant benefit of the Peach Fuzz shade is its versatility in home design. It adds a pop of colour to a neutral-tone room or complements more vibrant hues. The light peach colour helps create a warm, cosy, and luxurious ambiance. It's ideal for home decor that's soft to the touch, like towels, comforters, and rugs.
