Elsewhere, Pantone Color Institute vice president Laurie Pressman\u00a0went into detail about how the color was chosen as part of a program that first began in 1999 – making this year its 25th anniversary.<\/p>\n
She said that a global team of color experts from a ‘wide range of design, cultural, and geographical backgrounds’ joined forces each year to assess new trends and predict what could be next.<\/p>\n
‘We discuss our color psychology and color trend research as we look to connect the mood of the global zeitgeist with the corresponding color family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘From there, we drill down further to identify the exact right shade,’ Laurie said.<\/p>\n
Laurie said that the Pantone Color of the Year was reflective of a lifestyle trend rather than a short-lived fad.<\/p>\n
‘It is a color we see crossing all areas of design \u2014 a color that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude on the part of consumers, a color that will resonate around the world, a color that reflects what people are looking for, a color that can hope to answer what people feel they need,’ she explained.<\/p>\n

And a third said: ‘Peach is one of my favorite colors. Good choice.’<\/p>\n
It seems as though the trend of gentle hues has been identified more widely across the board.<\/p>\n
UK paint brand Dulux named their\u00a0Color of the Year for 2024 as soft pink Sweet Embrace – described as a ‘delicate and optimistic color, inspired by the softness of feathers and evening clouds.’<\/p>\n
