How to Rock Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2022

Pantone has finally unveiled its Color of the Year for 2022 and its—drumroll, please— Very Peri, a pretty periwinkle hue that “the company says combines the steady tranquility of blue with an energetic infusion of red,” according to CNN . This means that, unlike past years, Pantone has created its very own color instead of delving into its pre-existing records for the selection process. 

So, what exactly does this newly created hue mean for those of us who want to rock it throughout 2022? Fortunately, there are already enough colors out there that are similar enough to Very Peri (think: lilac, purple orchid, etc.) that we have a few ideas…

Keep it sporty with bike shorts and sneakers.
