This year's chosen shade is aimed at invoking a feeling of sanctuary, subtle sensuality, and a collective spirit that transcends both physical and digital realms. With a focus on delivering beauty to the digital world, Peach Fuzz is set to make a profound impact on the cosmetic landscape.

In conjunction with the announcement, Pantone has joined forces with Shades By Shan to introduce a Peach Fuzz-inspired variant of The Lip Shine. Crafted to amplify each individual's warmth and natural beauty, this lip product promises a bold, bright, yet soft and subtle effect suitable for all skin tones.

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, shared insights into the color's significance, stating, "Pantone 13-1023 Peach Fuzz brings belonging, inspires recalibration, and an opportunity for nurturing, conjuring up an air of calm, offering us a space to be, feel, and heal and to flourish from whether spending time with others or taking the time to enjoy a moment by ourselves."

Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, further emphasized the theme of community and introspection, remarking, "With this year’s Pantone Color of the Year 2024, we see an increased focus on community and people across the world reframing how they want to live and evaluating what is important–that being the comfort of being close to those we love."

The 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is the 25th installment in Pantone's Color of the Year series. Previous selections, such as 2023's Viva Magenta and 2022's Veri Peri, showcased nature-rooted hues and the blending of blues with a violet-red undertone, respectively.

As the beauty industry embraces the soothing tones of Peach Fuzz, consumers can anticipate a wave of products that mirror the compassion and warmth embodied by this nuanced shade. Pantone's Color of the Year serves not only as a reflection of current societal sentiments but also as a guiding influence for creativity and self-expression within the cosmetic world for the year ahead.
