In the last few weeks of 2021, Pantone is looking forward to the new year by debuting its 2022 Color of the Year: Very Peri.
The company said that this year marks the first time it has created an entirely new color instead of choosing one from its roster. Describing Very Peri as a periwinkle blue hue with a violet red undertone, Pantone said Very Peri is the “happiest and warmest of all the blue hues,” meant to symbolize transition and new possibilities.
“The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that colour can hope to answer,” Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, said in a press release.
Since Pantone just released this new color, you may not be able to find products in the exact shade yet. However, you can purchase items like apparel, shoes, skin care and home decor available in colors reminiscent of Very Peri. We rounded up a handful of items in both Very Peri and other lavender hues from Select reader favorite brands, as well as highly rated products and others we think you’ll want to know about.
