How the Colors of the Year Have Changed Over Time

The past two years have seen a shift in the palette chosen for interior design, reflecting both a response to societal needs and a yearning for new experiences.

In 2023, Pantone's Color of the Year was Viva Magenta, a vibrant and bold red hue that symbolized strength, passion, and a zest for life. It was an energizing departure from the more subdued, earthy tones that had dominated the preceding years, embodying confidence and a renewed sense of vitality.

During and after the pandemic, warm, grounded colors like Benjamin Moore's October Mist and PPG's Olive Sprig turned homes into comforting retreats, nurturing a sense of security and peace.

As we moved into 2024, Pantone introduced Peach Fuzz, a soft, light orange that evokes tranquility and sophistication. This shade, with its tender, peachy undertones, embodies kindness and connection, promoting feelings of warmth and community. Its gentle hue can create open, airy spaces that invite comfort and relaxation, transforming rooms into serene havens.

Color plays a profound role in how we experience our surroundings, influencing our emotions, energy, and overall sense of well-being. Pantone’s Color of the Year serves as a reflection of current cultural and social sentiments, offering a glimpse into the collective psyche.
