PANTONE's Color of the Year for 2022 is "Very Peri," designated with the code AKA17-3938. It's described as "a vibrant periwinkle blue with a vivacious violet-red undertone."
PANTONE, as a recognized authority in the world of color, releases its Color of the Year annually. This color influences trends, product development across various industries, and purchasing decisions. The selection of the Color of the Year isn't arbitrary; it results from an analysis of global developments, taking into account factors such as film, art, fashion design, travel, lifestyle, socio-economic influences, and more.
Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the PANTONE Color Institute, explains:
"PANTONE's 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. The educational Color of the Year program, which first launched in 2000, is one of the most forward-reaching elements of our expansive Color Institute offerings. As we move forward into 2022 with a color that is a first in the program's history—introducing a new shade to reflect the global innovation and transformation taking place—society continues to recognize color as a critical form of communication and a way to express and affect ideas and emotions, and to connect and engage people. With its high energy, high visibility, and an element of surprise, this next evolution in blue bestows the complex, dynamic message we want to express in the year ahead: the pursuit of personal power and optimism; a combination that ultimately leads to the discovery of new and exciting ways to solve problems and make meaningful change."
In terms of home design, this periwinkle blue with violet-red undertones is quite vibrant. It's recommended to use it as an accent rather than the primary theme for your home. Here are some ways to incorporate it into your living space:
1. Furniture: Consider items like sofas and chairs.
2. Accent Walls: Painted walls, wall coverings, or decorative trim can all feature this color.
3. Home Decor: You can introduce "Very Peri" through decorative elements such as vases, artwork, cushions, and curtains.
4. Personal Accessories: Fashion items like clothing, handbags, belts, and shoes can also incorporate this trendy color.
