One month ago, noted color authority Pantone announced that Peach Fuzz, AKA PANTONE 13-1023, would be their Color of the Year for 2024. While some of us may select a guiding word for the 12 months ahead to help set and guide intentions, for 25 years the New Jersey-based company known by designers and manufacturers for standardizing colors by code, has strived to do the same on a larger scale with their annual headline-making color and name drop. While this year’s pink/orange choice may seem a bit retro – whether conjuring images of 1950s cashmere twinsets, late-1980s Art Deco-revival decor, or simply the flocked fruit in a southern cobbler – the idea behind the selection is very current: promoting a cozy empathy. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone Color Institute™, states, “In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.” Whether on yourself or in your home, Rhody makers and shops have you covered for a peachy new year.
