Pantone is the language of color.

Pantone created the Color of the Year educational program in 1999. They wanted to engage the design community and color enthusiasts around the world and start a conversation about color. Pantone wanted to draw attention to the relationship between color and culture. Now, in its 25th year, the Color Of The Year's impact is felt across many industries including - fashion, cosmetics, home furnishings, automotive, the paint industry, industrial design, multimedia design, as well as the packaging of products and commercial interiors. Pantone offers 5 curated color palettes using their color of the year - Peach Fuzz. They are color harmonies for the mind, body, and soul.

A team of color experts at Pantone participate in the selection of the Color of the Year. These experts look around the world for color influences such as - the entertainment industry, films, fashion, travel, lifestyles, social media platforms, gaming, and even sporting events. Plus, they consider new and emerging materials, textures, and even technologies. After thoughtful consideration throughout the year, along with group color forecasting and meetings, the Pantone Color Institute team, (who are color anthropologists) meet one last time and choose their “Color of the Year”. The Color of the Year reflects what’s taking place in global culture at that time. The Color of the Year crosses all areas of design - and it also expresses the mood or attitude on the part of consumers.
