'Peach Fuzz.' Groovy, baby! 🍑
'Embrace the Warmth.' [[Pantone]]
The world's authority on color has spoken: 2024 is the year of "Peach Fuzz."
The Pantone Color Institute named its color of the year on Thursday, declaring our need for compassion and human connection in the year ahead.
According to influential color consultancy, only one shade can deliver on that front: Pantone describes the orange-pink hue as gentle, warm and cozy, subtly sensual and heartfelt.
Peach Fuzz, a "velvety peach tone" is meant to represent "our desire to nurture ourselves and others" and "whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul."
"In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless," said Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone's executive director, in a news release.
