Very Peri a color that stimulates imagination and creativity
Very Peri is a dynamic shade of periwinkle blue lit by a hint of red that mixes the calm of blue with the intensity and enthusiasm of red, creating a color that stimulates imagination and creativity.
The Color Of The Year 2022 wants to be, according to the Pantone Color Institute, a representation of the global zeitgeist of the moment, of the transition we are experiencing, but also a symbol of rebirth and positivity. In fact, after going through an intense period of isolation, our lifestyles are changing and our real and digital lives are merging, modifying our daily lives. Digital design extends the limits of reality, opening the door to a dynamic virtual world in which we can explore and create endless color possibilities.
Color as a fundamental form of communication
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute says that "as we move into a world of unprecedented change, the choice of Very Peri is an ambassador for a new perspective and vision of the beloved and cherished family of blues. Embracing the qualities of blues while possessing a purple-red undertone, Very Peri displays a vibrant and joyful attitude, a dynamic presence that encourages imaginative expressiveness and creativity that is capable of daring." And Laurie Pressman, Vice President of Pantone Color Institute, added, "By creating a new color for the first time in Pantone Color of the Year history, we reflect the innovation and global transformation taking place. As society continues to recognize color as a fundamental form of communication and a way of expressing, influencing and creating ideas and emotions, of engagement and connection, the complexity of this new blue hue infused with red-purple highlights the boundless possibilities that lie before us."
