Last year's Pantone® "colour of the year" was a combination of two colours, a grey (Ultimate Gray) and a yellow shade (Illuminating). These colours were set to be positive and uplifting. This year, the colour of the year is a brand new colour, PANTONE 17-3938 "Very Peri". It is a purple or periwinkle shade. It is said to be an creative and innovating colour, and this will allow us to find our new direction in the changing world.
Pantone® helps to set the colour trends. Expect to see this colour used in the world of fashion, interior design, home furnishings, and graphic design over the next year. The past few years of Pantone® 'colours of the year' are listed below.
