Pantone 2022 Color of the Year Wedding Inspiration

Pantone 2022 Color of the Year Wedding Inspiration

PANTONE® has sparked a bit of debate with its latest color of the year. Is it blue or is it purple?! Apparently, it’s considered blue with a violet-red undertone.

However you choose to identify this ambiguous hue, it's hard to argue that it's not a beauty deserving of this year's honors.

Introducing the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year: Very Peri!

“As society continues to recognize color as a critical form of communication, and a way to express and affect ideas and emotions and engage and connect, the complexity of this new red violet infused blue hue highlights the expansive possibilities that lay before us." - Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute

PAST PANTONE COLORS OF THE YEAR

Unlike last year’s complementary duo of Ultimate Gray and Illuminating, Very Peri commands attention and could serve to fulfill your requirement for "something blue" on your special day. It is a versatile color that can be paired with one or many other colors in wedding bouquets, bridesmaids dresses, stationary, wedding cakes and of course, rings.
