Pantone Color 2024 Peach Fuzz: softness and warmth

The Pantone Color of the Year - Pantone's annual colour selection - is an expression of what moves, inspires and connects us. Every year, the current choice influences various industries worldwide. This year, the experts decided on PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz after a detailed trend analysis: The soft peach colour stands for caring, belonging and shared moments. The annually selected, trendy colour serves as a source of inspiration for a wide range of industries. The food and beverage industry can also use the colour to develop new and exciting creations in line with current trends. We show you how you can use the Pantone Colour of the Year 2024 "Peach Fuzz" in drinks.

Soft and flattering, "Peach Fuzz" replaces the bright "Viva Magenta" from the previous year as Pantone Color of the Year 2024. While Viva Magenta represented strength and determination after the crisis years, Peach Fuzz stands for our desire to take care of ourselves and others, according to Pantone. The "all-encompassing aura of this velvety, soft peach colour" should "do our mind, body and soul good".

Peach Fuzz 13-1023 is a soft peach colour that subtly conveys sensuality. It symbolises kindness, tenderness and the importance of community and cooperation. This warm and pleasant colour expresses our desire for togetherness and the desire for peace and security. Peach Fuzz moves between pink and orange and creates an atmosphere of security and care.

"In developing a shade that reflects our inherent longing for closeness and connection, we opted for a colour that radiates warmth and modern elegance. This shade radiates compassion, is like a tangible embrace and effortlessly bridges the gap between youthfulness and timelessness," comments Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute™, on the newly selected shade.
