For over twenty years, Pantone has released a Color of the Year based on influences from various industries. Color experts look into fashion, entertainment, sports, travel, social media, new technology, and even socio-economic conditions. Their team picks, or in this year’s case creates, a color and releases it in December for the following year. The color of the year has become very influential in society and the marketing world. It is a great way to take advantage of an already researched marketing trend to incorporate into your business’s designs and consumer products for 2022!
So what is Very Peri? For the first time since beginning their Color of the Year forecasts, Pantone has created a new color with its own corresponding number. Very Peri represents the transition we are facing this year as we and the rest of the world enter a new way of life. The bright and calming hue of Very Peri inspires us to be innovative and courageous. With influence from the digital world, Very Peri represents the fusion and balance of the digital and physical world we see today.
