Pantone Color of the Year 2024: How to Create a Peach Fuzz Wedding
Each December, the wedding industry eagerly anticipates not only the arrival of a new year but also the much-awaited announcement of the Pantone Color of the Year by the Pantone Color Institute. For over two decades, Pantone’s chosen color has shaped trends across industries, influencing everything from fashion to interior design, product packaging, and graphic design.
How Does Pantone Select the Color of the Year?
The selection process for Pantone’s Color of the Year is intricate, involving a careful analysis of a wide range of cultural influences. Every year, the institute forecasts trends through a comprehensive approach, considering areas that shape cultural currents. From the general mood of the year to specific elements like fashion, entertainment, art, music, automobiles, travel, social media, emerging technologies, and materials, everything is meticulously studied to inform the final decision.
Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, emphasizes that the Color of the Year goes beyond design—it becomes a hue that resonates across various creative fields. It reflects a global mood or attitude, embodying the hopes and needs that the institute perceives in society. The chosen color is more than a visual trend; it represents something fresh and captivating that deeply influences people.
Pantone’s approach extends beyond art and design; in certain years, socioeconomic and political events significantly influence the selection. Pressman highlights the dynamic nature of the process, noting that the color reflects the evolving sociocultural climate. For Pantone, color serves as a universal language, expressing and translating the pulse of global culture. It provides not just a visual palette but also a narrative that captures the complexities of contemporary life.

Pantone Color of the Year 2024: Peach Fuzz
This velvety peach shade is more than just a color; it is a poetic expression of the collective longing for care, empathy, and compassion amid the complexities of modern life.
Peach Fuzz not only enchants visually but also embodies a spirit that nurtures the heart, mind, and body. In a world that often emphasizes external achievements and productivity, Pantone’s choice highlights the importance of turning inward and caring for ourselves. The color invites us to recalibrate our priorities, aligning them with inner values and promoting mental and physical well-being.
This year’s selection also emphasizes the significance of community and the joy of being surrounded by loved ones. Peach Fuzz symbolizes warmth and comfort, fostering a sense of togetherness and conveying a message of compassion. Its inviting softness serves as a visual reminder to cherish special moments, whether spent with family and friends or in peaceful solitude.
Occupying a unique space between pink and orange, Peach Fuzz evokes a sense of belonging, recalibration, and nourishment. Pantone views this shade as a fresh take on softness, blending vintage charm with contemporary sensibility. As we navigate the complexities of the present and seek a more peaceful future, Peach Fuzz serves as a visual anchor, encouraging individuals to reflect on intentional living and the importance of compassion and connection in an ever-changing world.
