It’s official – Pantone have announced that their pick for Colour of the Year 2024 is Peach Fuzz! Pantone 13-1023 Peach Fuzz was described by the Pantone Colour Institute as a comforting hue ‘softly nestled between pink and orange’ that was chosen to express a yearning for community and coziness during uncertain times.
At a time of turmoil in many aspects of our lives, our need for nurturing, empathy and compassion grows ever stronger. As does our hopes of a more peaceful future. With that in mind, Pantone wanted to turn to a colour that could focus on the importance of community and coming together with others. The colour selected needed to express our desire to want to be close to those we love and the joy we get when allowing ourselves to tune into who we are and just savor a moment of quiet time alone.
Soft and sweet, peach is the dominant hue in the home trends color forecasts for 2024. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute describes it as “a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance.” Gemma Riberti, head of interiors at trend forecasting agency WGSN, notes that her team has had its eyes on orange. In particular, they note its emergence as “a recharging near-bright in the wellness sector” and as a vivacious alternative to traditional pastels.
Introducing Peach Fuzz into home interiors creates a welcoming ambiance. Promoting feelings of gentle warmth whether appearing on a painted wall, in home décor, or acting as an accent within a pattern, Peach Fuzz infuses our most personalized worlds with a comforting presence.
A surprisingly versatile shade, Peach Fuzz enlivens the skin, adding soft warmth to eyes, lips, and cheeks making all who wear it appear more healthy. It appears fresh and youthful when paired with earthy browns and dramatic when paired with deep reds and plums.
Peach Fuzz also gives a vintage nod which is bang on trend at the moment. Seemingly tactile, it welcomes consumers to reach out and touch. Its warm tactility makes it an enticing shade for a variety of products, from food and beverage to cosmetics and accessories. Because of the tactile nature, this shade is perfect for soft furnishing such as cushions and throws.

Personally, I’m not a fan of peach fuzz. However, I do like the meaning behind it. Community and coziness are concepts I can definitely get on board with this year.
