Attention folks! We can all stop thinking about hot pink and magenta ‘cause we’re going to be entering 2024 in a pretty peachin’ way.
Pantone has just announced the Pantone Colour of the Year 2024—and it is Peach Fuzz.
Described as “nurturing”, “heartfelt” and “velvety” by the Colour Institute, Peach Fuzz (Pantone 13-1023) is a warm and gentle shade that hovers between pink and orange. It captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. Essentially, it’s introspective by nature with a decidedly soothing vibe.
Were we expecting it? No. But then again, Pantone always manages to surprise us.
Have We Seen Peach Fuzz Before?
If our memory serves us right, peachy tones have been a fixture of the Spring-Summer 2024 runways, particularly in Milan with Italian houses such as Gucci, Jil Sander and Sportmax leading the way. Plus, celebrities like Dwayne Johnson, Eva Longoria and Uma Thurman have already worn it on the red carpet earlier this year. Thus, one thing’s certain: This ‘it’ colour will trickle down into your wardrobe, jewellery box, makeup and even your homes in the coming year in no time, just like its predecessor, Viva Magenta. So, it’s time to get to know the colour better.
Pantone Colour of the Year 2024 Explained
If “Peach Fuzz” instantly conjures up feelings of warmth, coziness and comfort, then know that that’s exactly what Pantone had envisioned.
According to the Global Colour Institute, we’re going through times of turmoil in many aspects of our lives and therefore, there’s a strong need for empathy. Peach Fuzz’s soft hue connotes peacefulness and gives hope for a more caring and collabourative future.
“In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a colour radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless”, added the Colour Institute.
Peach Fuzz inspires belonging, recalibration and an opportunity to be, feel and heal.
