With “Peach Fuzz,” the Pantone Institute has chosen the Color of the Year for the 25th time. For 2024, the choice fell on a velvety-soft peach tone. A color that appears both romantic and sensual, but above all, aims to inspire more mindfulness and deceleration in the world. “We chose a color that exudes warmth and modern elegance. This shade radiates compassion, like a tangible embrace,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Institute. Within one’s own four walls, the delicate peach tone sets both fashionable and elegant accents while contributing to more coziness.
