pantone-color-of-the-year-2024.jpg


As we welcome the fresh beginnings of January 2024, homeowners around the world are looking to rejuvenate their living spaces with new trends and colors. Each year, Pantone’s Color of the Year influences interior design, fashion, and even our collective mood. For 2024, Pantone has chosen a color that symbolizes nurturing, warmth, and a gentle embrace of the future: Peach Fuzz. This velvety, soft hue, resting between the vibrancy of pink and the calmness of orange, marks the 25th anniversary of Pantone’s Color of the Year program. Unlike last year’s bold Viva Magenta, Peach Fuzz brings a more neutral palette to our homes.

Not feeling this color for my home or fashion.
 
Not my favorite. I'm not overly fond of pastels.

I like a pastel blue or pink, but peach? Ew.

Any pastel - ugh. Maybe its because I look like death in pastels, and that dislike carries over.

This is a '74. I had a '79 pastel blue Spitfire. The color is prettier than in the pic.
 
That makes me think of spring!

It would be gorgeous on some accent pillows on a white duvet in a bedroom
 
Only color worth considering is white, every other color is just "woke."
 
The interior walls of our house are tan (or beige?) with white trim. The PPG wall color is called armadillo.

The exterior of our house is (off) white with black trim. The PPG colors are called garlic clove and black magic.

White is not a color. And don't you mean colour? I'm starting to wonder if you're really Canadian.:unsure:😆

When addressing what I know to be a mostly American audience on here, I dummy down my spelling so as to not confuse them.

That's kind of pretty. When I think of pastel, I think much lighter than that.

Agreed. That looks more cornflower blue to me.

Not a fan.
 
Now this cardigan is super pretty. I just don't think it would look good with my skin tone.

I like the color as a top. I like warm colors.

In a home it would be good as an accent wall but only a little bit. I would not paint an entire room this color.
 
I like the color. A couple years ago I had seen at Pottery Barn where they replaced the sometimes jarring color orange in fall arrangements with peach. It accompanied the rust colors very well too. It somehow seemed more calming to me.
 
My BFF's dining room walls are done in peach and are lovely.

Men and women's understanding of colors is generally very different. Once many years ago I had to bring my toddler daughter to class, and she dragged with her a fuschia teddy bear. One of the guys referred to it as "purple," so I asked the class. Almost all the women said "fuschia" while the men described the teddy bear as "purple" or "pink."

No, fuschia! Which is not the same as magenta or orchid or grape or plum or berry.

So guys--what about celery, sage, and sea foam? Brick and paprika? Cornflower blue vs robin's-egg blue or cerulean?

Exactly.

Unless, of course, you're actually trying to match separate pieces that are black, navy, or red. Then you see just how many shades there are!

So peach or cantaloupe? Papaya or tangerine?

And then there is CORAL. Bragging on myself here, but I have a shirt that has a coral stripe and also socks that perfectly match it. Like the late great Queen Elizabeth II, I'm a "matchy-matchy" person.
 
I read part of a book about the psychology of color. I think that's what it was called. The one big takeaway I got from it is how colors can make things appear farther away or closer to you. I learned how this works in landscaping and flowers.

When I planted delphinium too far back or in the back garden bed they didn't show when I planted red in the back it brought the garden closer. Something about how hot colors are seen with the front of the eye and pale colors are seen with the back of the eye. It also applied to when you have a small room if you paint it red it will feel closed in or smaller.

Delphinium? I'm sighing with envy here as I imagine your garden(s).

Yes, the psychology of color. Think about restaurants that are known for their breakfasts vs the colors invariably employed by steakhouses.

And remember the icky "hospital green"?
