New colour of the year

Every December a new colour of the following year is announced by Pantone. The colour they choose is supposed to represent the zeitgeist of the moment and for 2022 they have given us Very Peri. This bold, deep lilac colour, they say, displays a ‘carefree confidence’ and a ‘daring curiosity’

According to Pantone, as we ‘emerge from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways. Digital design helps us to stretch the limits of reality, opening the door to a dynamic virtual world where we can explore and create new colour possibilities. With trends in gaming, the expanding popularity of the metaverse and rising artistic community in the digital space PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri illustrates the fusion of modern life and how colour trends in the digital world are being manifested in the physical world and vice versa.’

So, when you come to choose your new paint shades, and want to find a colour with some meaning and very much on trend, look no further than Very Peri. Great in all living spaces, perfect for feature walls and accents on furniture, what are you waiting for?
