Dare to Be Peachy this Year – Peach Fuzz!

Say hello to Pantone's Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz.

It’s just what we need for 2024. It elicits a very tactile feeling with its natural skin tone. It is also the color of many things found in nature like sunrises and sunsets, sand, coral, seashells, bird eggs, spring flowers in bloom & fresh fuzzy peaches and apricots. It also has depth and history when we see it used in old architectural designs that incorporate terra cotta or brick.

Overall, it creates a feeling of warmth, coziness, community and welcomeness - things that we crave in our challenging world of hustle and high productivity demands. Read more to find some great ways to incorporate Peach Fuzz into your daily life.
