Peach Fuzz is Pantone’s 25th color of the year.

Have you ever walked into a home and suddenly felt an internal response to the color?  How does this one work for you? 

Peach Fuzz is Pantone’s 25th color of the year.  This hue “echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection” and is “radiant with warmth and modern elegance.” 

Why Peach Fuzz?

The Pantone Color Institute references our collective need for nurturing, empathy and compassion. In a time of increased turmoil in many parts of the world, Peach Fuzz, aka Pantone 13-1023, stands for caring, sharing, collaboration and a re-evaluation of values.

Where will we see it?

Where will Peach Fuzz show up in 2024? Rugs, wallpaper, fabric, makeup, tea and more—which are all examples of products released in conjunction with Pantone’s announcement.

How does it make us feel?

Soft and Cozy. Peach Fuzz is a shade that evokes the delicacy and softness of a sunset, with nuances ranging from peachy tones to blush pinks. This color palette brings a sense of calm and coziness, establishing a welcoming ambiance in any setting. It’s a versatile choice that easily adapts to different styles and preferences.

Peach Fuzz in Decor

Not as pink-leaning as coral, peach is a pastel version of orange and reflects the shift toward warmth and color in interiors we have been seeing in the last couple of years in the home decor industry.

As a color for interior design and decor, Peach Fuzz pairs well with neutrals like creamy whites and even some beige tones.

It is natural with wicker, rattan, and bamboo pieces as well as grass rugs like sisal and jute.  

No matter if in the form of a knitted blanket or a faux fur Peach Fuzz welcomes a sense of security and ease.

Personally, I am on the fence about this one.  I love peaches but not sure I enjoy the color as much as blues and greens.  But now that we are on the subject, I think I will go eat a peach.
