It’s hardly controversial to say that 2023 was a globally tumultuous year. Perhaps that it why PANTONE has seen fit to soothe us with its colour for 2024: Peach Fuzz. Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute™ Leatrice Eiseman says, ‘In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a colour radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.’ Who doesn’t need a little more of that? They invite us to ‘embrace the warmth’, which is we have taken as our cue to do exactly that. These are the pieces channelling the gentle peachy embrace – who knows, surrounding ourselves with such softness and subtlety might even encourage the world to comply and embrace a calmer sensibility. We can but hope.
