The warm and cozy peach takes centre stage in the creative world, with the Pantone Color Institute naming “Peach Fuzz” as 2024 colour of the year. Emanating subdued vibrancy and ultra-feminine sophistication, peach is expected to influence design inspirations in the fashion, jewellery, home décor, beauty and other consumer industries.

Described as “visually arresting and inviting” with a hue that is nestled between pink and orange, Peach Fuzz also offers a fresh approach to a new softness and evokes a new modernity, according to the Institute.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone Color Institute, commented, “In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a colour radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”

In the jewellery and gemstone universe, the inviting allure of Peach Fuzz can be brought to life with the use of rose gold, amber or melo pearls as well as beloved coloured gemstones like Padparadscha sapphires, morganites, fire opals, mandarin and spessartite garnets and peach moonstones, to name a few.
