Pantone, the global color authority, introduced PANTONE 13- 1023 Peach Fuzz as the Pantone Color of the Year selection for 2024.

Explaining their decision, the leadership at Pantone say that, in a time of turmoil, the Peach Fuzz color is a warm hue that brings a feeling of tenderness and communicates a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration. “Drawing comfort from PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, we can find peace from within, impacting our wellbeing,” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute. “An idea as much as a feeling, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz awakens our senses to the comforting presence of tactility and cocooned warmth.”

Let’s celebrate the Color of the Year for 2024 the best way we know how — with music!
