Pantone's experts choose a color for the coming year by studying color influences from all over the world, including the entertainment industry and upcoming films, traveling art collections and new artists, fashion, home furnishings, design areas, popular travel destinations, as well as new lifestyles, playstyles, and socio-economic conditions. They could also be inspired by forthcoming major sporting events.

Pantone describes Very Peri as “a dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet red undertone blends the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red”.

"We are living in transformative times," a statement shared on Pantone's website continued. "Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through. Very Peri helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives."

Turns out, celebrities, street style stars, and other influential figures have leaned into the colour for red carpet appearances and in-person events all year. On the runway, Chanel's Metiers D'art and Lanvin's spring/summer 2022 Show, among others, also gave us plenty of deep purple envy. Ahead, see how people have owned the colour, and get inspiration for incorporating Very Peri into your looks.

But is it periwinkle purple? Is it blue? Very Peri is a weird, modern, and magical shade. And we’ll gladly accept a color fit for a futuristic unicorn, because we’re all hoping 2022 is our unicorn year. Get ready to see purple everywhere!

In 2021, Pantone chose two colours colours as the world reeled under the coronavirus pandemic, with “Ultimate Gray” and “Illuminating” being named for the year. “
Classic Blue” was the colour of the year in 2020.
