PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri



VERY PERI colour of the year

"Very Peri," or PANTONE 17-3938 if you wanna get technical, is defined by Pantone as "a dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet red undertone," affecting an air of mindfulness and warmth.  It is meant to symbolise “personal inventiveness and creativity” through its “courageous presence”.  

Fun fact: Very Peri is a new colour in the Pantone catalogue and it was specifically created for 2022.

See, Pantone doesn't necessarily seek to dictate global trends — not everyone is wearing "Illuminating", of course — it simply aims to skilfully select shades that summarises the prevailing attitude, like how "Living Coral" assumed an air of protection amidst 2019's shifting cultural landscape. 

Still, the company's pick for 2022 hints at even more happiness and hopefulness in the coming year.  It combines the faithfulness of blue with the energy and excitement of red.  Pantone goes on to explain that Very Peri "helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities," allowing us to "rewrite our lives" as we emerge from isolation.

The shade also has roots in the natural world and in wellness, with lilac, lavender, and periwinkle plants offering a calming sense during a chaotic time.  But it's also a really beautiful colour to wear...
Very Peri also appears in a lot of beauty and fashion trend forecasts—Pantone’s official presentation of the colour includes looks from Lanvin, Chet Lo, and Louis Vuitton men’s.


WAYS TO WEAR VERY PERI PANTONE'S COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2022

Wearing neutral or muted palettes is an easy way to introduce "Very Peri" to your wardrobe.   A periwinkle blouse can create a real statement with a simple pair of black or white pants, or a pair of jeans.

When in doubt, go monochrome. Play around with different textures and finishes including sparkly sequins and faux fur.

Don't be afraid colour blocking, you can actually wear very peri with a lot of colours, the most popular are yellow and orange.

The very peri colour looks very pretty and can be mistaken as lavender, purple, or violet, but if you notice carefully, the shade is slightly different.
