Color Palette: Very Peri Pantone 2022 Color of the Year

The 2022 PANTONE Color of the Year is Very Peri 17-3938. This is an interesting choice. It’s a periwinkle shade with strong red undertones. It’s hard to appreciate this shade in a flat single color situation, but PANTONE presented it with applications in metallic and shimmering finishes, or in moving video form and it’s very dynamic!

I attended the PANTONE webinar announcing the color this week, and they went into the reason they created it. That in and of itself is new and exciting! This was the first year they invented a new color for the color of the year. Which is so fitting for all their explanations of what’s happening in the world. We are in a time of transition and this color represents that. It’s a little strange. It’s a little futuristic. It represents personal inventiveness and creativity, which has been vital the past year. It’s a transformational color, blending red and blue to create a newness. This is such an appropriate explanation as we move into 2022 with many uncertainties still. It is a color to represent transformation and innovation.

Do you have a strong opinion about the 2022 color of the year? I hope you enjoy this color palette collection, inspired by our brand new PANTONE COTY for 2022: Very Peri!
