The Pantone Color Institute has released its color of the year for 2024, and I’m delighted to share that it’s peach fuzz. Don’t worry if you don’t like orangey tones because this hue is soft and muted. The shade is reminiscent of something sweet, maybe warmer months and happiness.
How does this affect your life? Well, you’ll be seeing this color not only in apparel, but across many industries like entertainment, marketing and interior design. My favorite ways to wear it are with beige or white, a neutral like navy or, my personal pick, monochromatic. Whether you wear it or incorporate it into your home, get some of this shade in your life. It’ll leave you feeling peachy keen.
