The color of the year 2024 is Peach Fuzz

The soft and refreshing color of 2024 heralds kindness and tenderness.

Peach Fuzz (Pantone 13-1023), a tone nestled delicately between pink and orange, is focused on human perception. Its all-encompassing spirit enriches the mind, body and soul, calling for a moment of calm and refuge, inspiring peace and healing from within.

"In searching for a hue that reflects our innate desire for closeness and connection, we chose a color that exudes warmth and modern elegance," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. "It resonates with compassion, physical embrace, and effortlessly connects the youthful with the timeless."

Pantone Color Institute Vice President Laurie Pressman said the Color of the Year reflects a global lifestyle trend. “It serves as an expression of mood and attitude from consumers, a color that will resonate around the world, a color that reflects what people are looking for, a color that can hopefully answer what people feel they need.”

The cozy shade Peach Fuzz lends a pleasant atmosphere to interiors. It promotes a sense of calm and provides a space for relaxation, whether in wall painting, in decor or as patterns and accents. Combine Peach Fuzz with soft pastels or earthy tones for a harmonious look. For interior textiles, choose suede, velvet, quilted and furry textures.

Peach Fuzz evokes a sense of luxury that we can include in sumptuous peaches, soft marabou feathers, and lustrous vintage satins and silks.
