Pantone Colour of the Year 2022 - Very Peri
It's been announced today that the Pantone Colour of the Year 2022 is 'Very Peri'.
A violety-blue which ‘displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression’.
Each year, Pantone's colour experts comb the world looking for new colour influences...
Unlike us! We often deliberately avoid trend research before deciding on our colourways as we want our designs to stand the test of time.
Also, artist Alexis Snell and I have hardly left Yorkshire over the last year or so!
But nevertheless it's a tiny bit gratifying to see that the Ocean Blue colour of our new ‘All Tomorrow’s Futures’ fabric was a good choice!
Inspired by Matisse and Willow Pattern plates, we felt our 'Ocean Blue' colour was fresh and optimistic and I have to say it's my favourite.
Pantone have helpfully provided some palette suggestions to give you some inspiration on how to use this colour.
'Balancing Act' is my personal favourite but have a look at the others on the Pantone website and also see their YouTube video below:
