Pantone described Veri Peri as a periwinkle shade of blue. The purple tone was inspired by the rise of the metaverse and the impact of coronavirus lockdowns.

For the first time this year, Pantone has created a new colour that isn’t already in its existing collection of colours for their colour of the year. To do so, Pantone mixed blue tones with purple-red hues. The colour complements the “constancy” of traditional blue colour and the “energy and excitement” of red colour. The result of the Veri Peri colour shade is a pastel blue colour that is similar to lavender flowers and light purple-feathered birds.

According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone’s Color Institute, Very Peri is a colour that represents the change we are going through. After a long stretch of isolation, our concepts and standards are changing, and our physical and digital existences have grown more connected. We make our way through virtual reality and discover that digital design permits us to push the bounds of reality, allowing us to enter a dynamic virtual world where we may explore and create new colour alternatives.

PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri depicts the marriage of modern life and how colour trends in the digital world are manifested in the real world and vice versa, as seen with gaming trends, the increasing popularity of metaverse, and a growing artistic community in the virtual realm.

Application of Veri Peri in the Design World

As the Pantone Colour of The Year for 2022, Veri Peri will likely be seen in a variety of design applications. Pantone has also developed “design tools” to assist designers to utilize and understand the colour. The colour firm has created four palettes that are accessible for designers to draw inspiration from through their Pantone Connect digital colour platform.

In clothing and style, Very Peri will be “futuristic in feeling.” It may have various appearances owing to its application to various materials, finishes, and textures. Similarly, when used for eyes, nails, and “particularly” hair, Pantone describes the hue as making for a “novel statement.”

For interior designs, Very Peri will be “injected with a feeling of playfulness and freshness” into houses and rooms, according to the company. This will be amplified by applying different textures and qualities.

In the packaging and multimedia design, the use of Very Peri will convey a sense of trustworthiness while also hinting at creativity. “Very Peri has a good-natured friendliness that draws the attention right away, making it an excellent choice for many forms of graphic and multimedia design as well as packaging,” according to the institution.

Pantone Collaborations with Microsoft and Tezos Blockchain 

Pantone has collaborated with Microsoft to incorporate Very Peri into its software – including custom Teams backgrounds, Windows wallpapers, and a new Edge theme.

Pantone has also teamed up with Tezos, an energy-efficient blockchain network that aims to be more efficient than existing systems, to “explore the world of colour” in the digital art sector. Polygon1993 will work with Paris-based artist Polygon1993 to create pieces influenced by Very Peri.
