Similarly novel is Pantone's imagery —this
year the new shade is unveiled via a piece
of digital art as well as the traditional
swatch, solidifying the color's connection to
the tech world.
Whether 2022's Very Peri is welcomed
with open arms or not, Pressman and Eise-
man are simply content with the conversa-
tion. "It's astounding to me that I will hear
people talking about the color of the year,
people that aren't otherwise connected to
color in any way," said Eiseman.
"We've seen it grow incrementally over the
years. And we're somewhat astounded by
it, but delighted by it," she continued. "Be-
cause that's our purpose."
As for how to use this dynamite shade in
your home? Work the punchy hue into
modern spaces and don't be afraid to meld
it with unusual color pairings (after all, it's
supposed to invigorate our creative spirits!).
The versatile shade is suited to an array of
textures, materials, and finishes, but we're
partial to the accent approach; brush it
onto a single wall, consider an end table or
side chair in the flashy shade, or look for it
in playful wallpaper or textile patterns.
