Each year on a chilly December day, you’ll find PartySlate’s editorial team up early hitting refresh, refresh, refresh on our browsers. You see, we are eagerly awaiting Pantone’s prediction for the color that will define the coming year. It’s always worth the wait.
For 2024, the Pantone Color of the Year is Peach Fuzz. It’s a pastel hue that falls somewhere between blush and apricot, somewhere between daybreak and soft candlelight. It’s the color of your grandmother’s vintage lace and of a cocktail you might raise to toast at a breezy beachside cáfe. It honors the past and brings hope for the future, making it perfect for your most meaningful celebrations.
Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, shares of their selection process, “The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture at that moment in time…We discuss our color psychology and color trend research looking to connect the mood of the global zeitgeist with the corresponding color family. From there, we drill down further to identify the exact right shade.” Then the color-choosing team sets about naming the hue to conjure mood and emotion.
We happen to think that’s exactly what the best celebrations do — conjure mood and emotion. See real celebrations below that are rich in the peachy tone, and get inspired to plan your own peachy soirée.
