Pantone’s colour of the year is good enough to eat and ideal for summer. Pantone peach fuzz can be incorporated to bring warmth and comfort into your daily life.
Each year, Pantone selects a specific colour that reflects current cultural trends, influences, and attitudes. The Colour of the Year serves as a symbolic representation of the mood, sentiment, and direction of design and creative industries for the upcoming year, and you can bet you’ll be seeing it everywhere!
For 2024, the highly influential authority on colour standards have chosen PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, a velvety gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit embraces the mind, body, and soul.
Laurie Pressman, vice president of Pantone Colour Institute, announced the colour in a webinar, saying that the 25th annual choice was “a feeling of kindness and tenderness”.
She continued, “This is a warm and cosy shade that highlights a desire for togetherness with others or enjoying a moment of stillness and the feeling of sanctuary this creates. It’s a colour that brings belonging, inspires calibration and an opportunity for nurturing.”
Feminine, gentle and highly flattering for most skin tones, this shade is perfect as we enter the warmer months. Including the colour peach in your wardrobe will help you stay fashionable and comfortable this year.
Jewellery
When it comes to jewellery, this means using gemstones like peach moonstone, pearls in peachy pink hues, padparadscha sapphire, morganite, peach and copper tourmaline, as well as repurposed antique or vintage angel skin coral, paired with rose gold—a metal that closely matches this colour palette and has been a firm favourite for designers in recent years.
Wardrobe
Peach fuzz is also an elegant choice for your summer wardrobe. Incorporate the pastel colour of the year 2024 for a fashionable look. From chic swimwear to flowing summery dresses, silk blouses and lightweight cashmere cardigans, it is an excellent base on which to display carefree and youthful energy. Also, if you have any summer weddings to attend, you can’t go wrong with a peach gown – though if you’re prone to spilling drinks, stick to rosé wine over red! Incorporate the pantone colour of the year 2024 for a trendy look.
Accessories
You can also simply invest in a few key accessories, such as sunglasses or scarves, as peach accessories complement a wide range of colours, including neutrals like white, beige, and grey, as well as bolder hues like navy blue and emerald green.
Leisure
Peach fuzz also fits effortlessly into the ongoing athleisure wear trend. Look sweet and ripe in yoga leggings, running shoes and sports bra; or take a more playful approach with a whimsical T-shirt emblazoned with a graphic of the actual fruit.
Make-Up
Finally, the area where peach fuzz can really make a splash is in your makeup bag. Not only is the shade gorgeous, but it also helps creates a dewy, youthful radiance. For example, peach eyeshadows are highly versatile and can be used as transition shades in the crease, as lid colours for a soft and romantic look, or even as a subtle pop of colour on the lower lash line.
Peach blushes add a natural flush to the cheeks and give the complexion a healthy glow. They are particularly flattering on warm skin tones but can be worn by anyone looking to achieve a fresh and youthful appearance. Indeed, they can be applied lightly for a subtle hint of colour, or built up for a more intense flush.
If you’re not entirely peachy keen, stick to a pop of colour on your lips – either in a shimmery gloss or a more saturated lipstick shade – or even just on your manicure or pedicure.
So, embrace the warmth of summer with peach fuzz. Vibrant, fresh, highly versatile with a distinct connection to nature, and timeless appeal, it can be worn casually for a day at the beach or dressed up for a summer soirée. Whatever your mood and whatever your style, peach adds a touch of summery charm and elegance to any look or setting.
