What Is The Pantone Colour of the Year For 2024? How To Get The Look
Expect to see a lot more of this hue.
What is Pantone’s chosen Colour of the Year for 2024? Every year, the Pantone Color Institute studies colour trends, looking at society as a whole to decipher which hue will become their chosen Colour of the Year. 2023 saw Viva Magenta as the ‘it’ shade ahead of the release of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, while 2022’s chosen colour was Very Peri.
As we edge closer to 2024, we’re all desperate to know what the Pantone Color Institute has named their Color of the Year. While it isn’t the be-all-and-end-all, it’s interesting to note as the New Year approaches. You might start seeing it way more than usual, and not just in fashion. Pantone’s Colour of the Year reaches further afield, often being adopted by interiors, beauty and skincare trends too.

What is the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2024?
Pantone has named the Colour of the Year 2024 as 13-1023 Peach Fuzz. According to Pantone, the “velvety peach tone” is one that “captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others” and “enriches mind, body and soul.”
Of the shade, Pantone Color Institute™’s Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman said, “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.”
What is WGSN and Coloro’s Colour of the Year for 2024?
WGSN, the world’s leading forecaster of global trends, and colour system Coloro have named Apricot Crush as their Colour of the Year 2024. Apricot Crush – or Coloro 024-65-27 – signifies “care, connection, and community” because of what the colour orange represents, particularly the “nutritional properties of vitamin and antioxidant-rich oranges and apricots.”
The upcoming colourway is a subtle shade that sits between orange and yellow. It evokes a feeling calmness and optimism. According to WGSN, Apricot Crush brings “a warming luminosity to the home, both indoors and outside,” so expect to see this delicious shade not only in fashion, but interiors too. We’ll also be seeing a lot of peachy makeup trends and even in our skincare too.
“Its soft, sun-bleached quality will pair easily with neutrals and will be suitable for textiles, glass, bath, and bedroom products,” WGSN adds. “Its playful side will connect with joyful beauty products, fragrance, skincare, and hair colour.”
What colours go with Peach Fuzz?
Peach Fuzz is a gender-neutral and optimistic colour that teams well with plenty of colours. Pair it with neutrals and other earth-toned colours, like chocolate brown and sage, or pops of colour like turquoise or fuchsia pink.
What are the trending colours of 2024?
WGSN also named Intense Rust, Midnight Plum, Sustained Grey, and Cool Matcha as the key colours of Autumn Winter 24-25, so if Apricot Crush isn’t for you, there’s plenty more colours to choose from.
Intense Rust is a “transseasonal brown” that evokes warmth and “feelings of stability,” according to WGSN. It nods to the quiet luxury trend that has exploded in 2023 and has been likened to the colour of soil.
Midnight Plum is a gorgeous dark purple that, just like Intense Rust, offers a luxurious feel. It’s rather a futuristic colour too and has been selected as it “connects to themes of space exploration and the metaverse.”
Sustained Grey meanwhile is a grounding hue that aligns with theme of sustainability. It might not be the most exciting colour in the world, but its lasting appeal makes it an important one.
Lastly, and my personal favourite colour set to dominate in 2024, is Cool Matcha. It exudes calmness and serenity, while exuding themes of nature and technology.
Is there a WGSN and Coloro Colour for 2025 yet?
You’d be surprised at how far ahead WGSN and Coloro plan the colour of the year. In 2025, it will be Future Dusk, a “dark, moody and intriguing hue, sitting between blue and purple.” The shade evokes “mystery” and “escapism,” feeding into “periods of transition”.
Alongside the moody hue, WGSN x Coloro introduced Transcendent Pink, Aquatic Awe, Ray Flower and Sunset Coral as the leading colours for 2025.
