Very Peri: Meet Pantone’s 2022 Color of the Year
Posted On January 18, 2022New hopes and new colors await as the year 2021 comes to a close. To keep up with the effects of the pandemic-stricken world, the global authority Pantone has again taken a novel approach in selecting the Color of the Year.
For 2021, the leading figure in color trends has chosen not just one but two colors: ultimate gray and vibrant yellow. But for 2022, Pantone takes its selection up a notch by developing a new color altogether—what we now know as Very Peri or Pantone 17-3938.
This entirely novel hue seeks to represent the rapidly changing times. It combines the timeless blue shades with energetic notes of violet and red to create a light-hearted, warm color unlike any other. Let’s explore the Pantone Color of the Year 2022 in this article.
A New Future for Color
Color often communicates a message, mood, idea, or emotion. And just like the new year ahead, Very Peri is all about pushing boundaries. It champions exploring the unknown and broadening our horizons.
At its core, Very Peri represents a fresh breath of life, an ode to the whims and joys of the coming year. It sparks creative and imaginative thought, as seen in the delightful harmony of reddish-purple energy and static blue hue. It tickles curious minds with its carefree charm and jolly glow.
The color Very Peri also embodies novelty and versatility in all forms. In realizing a new vision, it opens itself to the possibilities that the future brings. All in all, it leads the way for innovating colors and expanding our existing palettes.
A Fitting Color Selection
Pantone analyzes societal trends and hallmarks in determining the color of the year. Amidst rapid transformations in the present, unprecedented times call for unprecedented colors—hence the birth of Very Peri. But how did this come to be?
The inspiration comes from the rise of the digital space—from social media, games, and virtual currencies. Soon enough, these spaces have permeated every single inch of our physical lives. It has resulted in a groundbreaking shift in modern life, as it inevitably intertwines with the virtual world.
As per the official Pantone description, “Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through.”
