Color of the Year produces peachy feeling

Premium color company Pantone, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is feeling just peachy about their 2024 Color of the Year: Peach Fuzz.

Peach Fuzz, a hue that blends light pinks and oranges for a warm, romantic result, can add radiance and soft color to any space.

The shade is gentle yet powerful and already stirring up a lot of buzz.

To make their decision, Pantone’s design team takes a look at the trendiest, most influential colors that appeared throughout the past year.

A team of color designers carefully considers each detail, from how the shade will look in different finishes to color psychology that helps them understand the mood their Color of the Year will produce.

In the case of Peach Fuzz, the shade intends to feel nurturing. It’s designed to reflect the trends that spark well-being and mindfulness—inner healing, discovery, and refocusing on what matters most. This makes it an ideally comforting color, perfect for a tranquil bedroom, warm living space, or even an inspiring home gym. 

If you’re looking to incorporate Peach Fuzz into your space, Pantone recommends the trying out the shade in plush fabrics: velvet, quilt, and fur textures. The color is also designed to provide the perfect wall paint or accent wall, and even just a pop invites a pleasant glow into your space.
