Chosen by a team of global art and design experts, Pantone selects the year's colour that defines the moods and modes of the upcoming 365 days. Best described as nurturing and quietly sophisticated, according to Pantone’s research, the shade that will come to define 2024 is Peach Fuzz. A soft pastel, a fruity tone that conjures peace and serenity. “We’re going through a lot of turmoil in our lives, and we need a nurturing colour,” said Pantone colour specialist Leatrice Eisman. “It’s a warm and cosy shade. And it’s very tactile. At this time, tactility is important, to touch other people and gather them into our homes.” Pantone also believes this new shade must express our desire to be close to those we love and the joy we get when allowing ourselves to tune into who we are and savour a moment of quiet time alone. It needed to be a colour whose warm and welcoming embrace conveyed a message of compassion and empathy. Peach Fuzz is not only a fresh and vibrant shade, but this colour brings a sense of cheerfulness and sophistication as a decor choice.
