Every December for the past 25 years, Pantone has announced its Color of the Year. For 2024, the global authority on color chose Pantone 13-1023, also known as Peach Fuzz. Pantone describes it as "a velvety gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul." It's a light pinkish-orange that makes us think of Creamsicles.
How did Pantone land on Peach Fuzz? Well, for the last year Pantone's color "anthropologists" have picked apart popular culture in search of new color influences. They looked at fashion, beauty and lifestyle trends, upcoming films, popular art exhibits, hot travel destinations, political views, media, social media, socioeconomic conditions, big sports events, new technologies, new textures, you name it.
