ourageous, empowering, imaginative, futuristic…” are just some of the words Pantone® has used to describe its 2022 Colour of the Year - Very Peri (17-3938). Since 2000, the Pantone Color Institute™ has provided insight on a key colour that is set to be prominent in the year ahead. Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute explains that “The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that color can hope to answer.” Through extensive research and review of various factors (including new artists, fashion, popular travel destinations, and socioeconomic conditions), the Pantone team presents a colour that influences multiple industries – home furnishings being one of them. 2022 marks the first time an entirely new colour was created for the Colour of the Year, highlighting the importance of innovation and the need to adapt to our changing world. The periwinkle blue hue features a violet red undertone, adding a modern yet whimsical aesthetic when applied. It’s welcoming, exciting and can definitely add some dynamic flair to your home interior. Feeling inspired? Add a dash of this periwinkle hue to your home with finds like these:
