Officially called “Pantone 17-3938 Very Peri”, the color “displays carefree confidence and embraces this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives. Rekindling gratitude for some of the qualities that blue represents complemented by a new perspective that resonates today, Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light.”

Creating the new color for the first time in the 22-year history of Pantone’s Color of the Year reflects the world’s global innovation and transformation taking place today. The institute explains that “as we emerge from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways. Digital design helps us to stretch the limits of reality, opening the door to a dynamic virtual world where we can explore and create new color possibilities.”

Even though this is a new color, the beautiful hue has many appearances in today’s world – in nature, even popular tv-shows, and quite possibly in your home or community already. Here are some examples below where Very Peri animates a creative spirit.
