Pantone released the 2022 annual fashion color “periwinkle blue”, inspired by the meta universe

When the entire network is using annual keywords to summarize 2021, the color agency Pantone's 2022 fashion color "Very Peri" has arrived.

It is a mixture of blue and fuchsia. It combines the "permanence" of the former with the "vitality and excitement" of the latter. It is described by Pantone as "periwinkle blue". We can use periwinkle, lavender and birds A similar color is seen on the lavender feathers.

Very Peri is not in Pantone's color catalog. This is the first time that Pantone has created a new color as a popular color of the year. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, pointed out:

Very Peri demonstrates a lively, cheerful attitude and energetic presence, encouraging brave creativity and imaginative expression.

The inspiration for the 2022 fashion color comes from the rise of the meta universe and the long impact of the epidemic. Pantone believes that we are living in an unprecedented era, and we need to introduce a new color instead of extracting a color. Very Peri represents the increasingly blurred boundary between the physical world and the digital landscape:

When we come out of a period of intense isolation, concepts and standards are changing, and physical life and digital life are fused together in a new way. With the increasing popularity of Metaverse and the continuous development of the digital space art community, we expand the boundaries of reality and create new color possibilities.

At the same time, Pantone plans to work with artist Polygon1993 to launch 6 NFT artworks featuring Very Peri as the main elements.

Very Peri is easily reminiscent of Ultra Violet, the popular color of 2018. Pantone said at the time, “Ultraviolet reflects elements such as counterculture, non-conformism, vigilance and foresight, revealing the mysteries of the universe, and inspiring people to move forward and "Exploring the unknown" is not outdated even now.

Pantone’s annual fashion color selection began in 2000. Color experts explored "how colors are being affected" every year around the world. These influences may come from movies, fashion, design, tourism, global competitions, emerging art, or new art. Lifestyle, game styles, social media platforms and socio-economic conditions, as well as new technologies, materials, textures and effects that affect colors.

For example, the popular color of 2017 is "Greenery" (Greenery). Pantone noticed at the time that there are more and more expressions of green plants in daily life. It is reflected in urban planning, architectural plans, lifestyle and Design choices bring hope to people in a troubled social and political environment.

When fashion colors are born, they will act as a counterforce, affecting product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishing, industrial design, product packaging and graphic design. Therefore, we can always see that Pantone's cotton color card, printing accuracy guide, interior decoration color guide and popular color come together, just waiting to sweep all aspects of life.

Now, several brands that have cooperated with Pantone have replaced products such as mugs, eco-friendly sports shoes, bicycles with Very Peri.

This time, Pantone also cooperated with Microsoft to launch a very Peri-themed design package, including Teams background color, Windows wallpaper, Edge theme and PPT template.

Pantone is not the only organization to launch annual fashion colors. Many paint and coating companies also have their own annual fashion colors.
