Each year, Pantone, the company known for its custom color matching system, names its Color of the Year. For 2022 that title goes to Very Peri (aka Pantone 17-3938). The company notes that the color—which beautifully mixes blue hues with violet, red undertones—is a perfect metaphor for our time.
“We are living in transformative times. PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through. As we emerge from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways,” notes the company. “Displaying a carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit, inquisitive and intriguing Very Peri helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives. Rekindling gratitude for some of the qualities that blue represents complemented by a new perspective that resonates today, Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light.”
Bring that same spirit to your own home with these Very Peri pieces.
