Very Peri (PANTONE 17-3938) is a soft and moody shade of bluish-purple (read: periwinkle) that evokes creativity and contemplativeness, which is seemingly a nod to our collective ability to leave behind the past few years and start 2022 with new ideas, energy, and opportunities.
Very Peri marks the first time Pantone has created a brand new color for their Color of the Year series—perhaps a hint towards a fresh start.
In the events industry, the Pantone Color of the Year is instantly added to mood boards, lookbooks, styled shoots, fashion runways, stationery suites, and any place that sports a splash of color.
