NEW YORK—This month, Pantone announced “Peach Fuzz” as its Color of the Year for 2024. The warm, gentle peach colorway, also known as PANTONE 13-1023, is easy to love and easy to incorporate into design—and, of course, it is full of meaning. Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, explained, “In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”

As is the case with each year’s Pantone Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz will likely make a splash in design and décor throughout 2024. We can expect to see peach tones on the runway, in interior design, in graphic design, in makeup and art, and elsewhere. And, of course, we can expect to see this tactile, fresh and soft peach hue across eyewear design in the coming year. 

As eyewear collections inspired by Peach Fuzz roll out, there are countless ways to incorporate the shade into your life and practice. Pantone has shared a number of resources for anyone who wants to bring some Peach Fuzz into their everyday. Online, a Design Tools landing page from Pantone offers tools for graphic design, tools for apparel and accessories, tools for beauty and hair, tools for home décor and more. There are also free downloadable wallpapers online as well as a tool for choosing palettes and color harmonies.

As we revamp for the New Year and get ready to start fresh, there’s no better time than now to get inspired and bring some new color into our lives. Get ready for a very peachy 2024—and take your color inspiration wherever you can find it.
