Peach Fuzz 13-1023 Pantone for 2024 – what colour is it?

Pantone's new choice is a shade that harmoniously combines warmth and elegance. It is a peach tone, a colour hidden between pink and orange. Light and subtle. It can already be seen in this year's spring collections, and it will be perfect for the warm months - spring and summer. It will also be an ideal colour for interiors, as it is a warm colour that creates a sense of security, introduces a feeling of cosiness, as well as calm and good spirits.
The shade is also youthful, appearing fresh, and cosmetics based on it will provide exactly that effect. Perfumes wishing to use this shade, on the other hand, would immediately be associated with a sweeter, invigorating scent that wraps you pleasantly.

A year ago, the bold Viva Magenta reigned supreme, a colour placed between pink and purple that ignited the senses, styling and design. This year, Pantone has chosen a delicate, sweet and gentle peach, which envelops and is meant to be a bridge between "youth and timelessness". It is a colour for everyone for the coming year, bringing comfort to both older and younger generations. This pleasant shade is worth having - it's not only lovely but also carries a good message. It will also boost your wellbeing, being very versatile.

Among our offerings we have an apricot colour, which will certainly appeal to anyone who has taken a liking to the new Peach Fuzz. It will surely become the dominant colour in many wardrobes and interiors.
