Pantone Colour of the Year 2022
After two long years of dealing with a pandemic and learning how to navigate in a new world, it has been, a lot. We are all dealing with new things, perhaps working from home on a long term basis or dealing with a hybrid situation, new ways to communicate, and consume media, even new ways to grocery shop from your couch! In an effort to help us cope Pantone has given us a vibrant blue to calm our nerves and refresh our senses.
Pantones 2022 colour of the year is Veri Peri, a periwinkle blue that Pantone states “is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through. As we emerge from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways. Digital design helps us to stretch the limits of reality, opening the door to a dynamic virtual world where we can explore and create new color possibilities. With trends in gaming, the expanding popularity of the metaverse and rising artistic community in the digital space Pantone Very Peri illustrates the fusion of modern life and how color trends in the digital world are being manifested in the physical world and vice versa.”
Veri Peri is a versatile colour you can put in any room of your home. It works as an accent or for the whole room as it is not too overwhelming. Don’t want to commit to painting an entire wall or room? You can still incorporate it by painting a piece of furniture like a chest of drawers or an end table. Can’t even committed to that? Never fear, the colour is so popular you will find it on everything from scarves to eyeshadow to shoes. So get out of the house, or stay in and order online, and paint the town blue!
