2024 Color of the Year Makes Waves

The numbers 13-1023 may not mean much to you, but to Pantone® – the aficionado of all things color – it’s a designation paying tribute to their annual Color of the Year.

Pantone® is a go-to source for pure, legitimate color in the eyes of interior designers, graphic designers, and anyone in search of pigment for projects and palettes.

“Peach Fuzz” connotes a bevy of heart-warming sentiments, and now it’s a springboard for how to weave in a blush of sensual color to interior décor. In keeping with its eagle-eye ability to spot the best, Pantone® recognizes the power of peach, with an even more earthy embellishment. 

​Reminiscent of a tropical cocktail, “Peach Fuzz” already enjoys an extra-dimensional appeal. The objective this year is to internalize and customize it for aesthetical ends.

Pantone® counts “Peach Fuzz” as a lifestyle; a bridge toward inner strength through softness and a welcomed hint of nature. Out of the gate, that bodes well for anyone in search of a calming and yet lively shade perfect for personalizing inner spaces. Choosing a tone well known in flora and fauna likely was not accidental, as Pantone® is known for synching with current times. And who doesn’t yearn for a more peaceful social narrative?

One of the first qualities following this hue’s name is obvious. Pantone® asks us to immerse ourselves in the living extravagance of texture, feeling for what is sensory while still soaking up the solace of a beautiful tone. With warmth; with harmony. A natural shade with lush color infuses mood changes in art, rugs, lamps, and furnishings.

Beyond that, “Peach Fuzz” provides inspiration for stepping out of the box and welcoming the pastel-ish hue on walls and even floors. Suitable for a host of style motifs. Texture helps, whether it’s subtle, gritty, fluffy, or flamboyant. And blending to create a mish-mash of hues, or accent the warmth of “Peach Fuzz” with stark bold shades -- or earthy, rich tones -- yields a surprising dominance in the color that represents one of our all-time favorite fruits.

The passion of peach rekindles nostalgic charm of yesteryear as an iconic retro shade. “Peach Fuzz” is as much about the heavenly texture as it is about the softened rich tone. It expounds on a retro flavor with contemporary texture, hue, and ethereal warmth. Pantone® invites you to make it your own.
