Pantone Colour of Year 2024: Peach Fuzz

Pantone has just announced the Colour of the Year for 2024 and it’s, drumroll please…. PEACH FUZZ

PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. It's a velvety gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul.

“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."

We've gone ahead and rounded up all the products we think match this new colour! Now, you may need to do a little magic colour mixing to get the shade of Peach Fuzz just right, but we think this list is a pretty good place to start. So come join us on this peachy journey through the Art Shed aisles!

Pantone is an iconic name in the fashion, product, graphic design and lifestyle-oriented industries, Pantone is a symbol of the design-minded.

In 1963, Pantone revolutionized the printing industry with the colorful PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM^®, an innovative tool allowing for the faithful selection, articulation and reproduction of consistent, accurate colour anywhere in the world. The tool organises colour standards through a proprietary numbering system and chip format, which have since become iconic to the Pantone brand.
